Buck531 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 So we're going next weekend to Los Angeles next Friday. We'll have one day.. Saturday to do anything in LA. What would you do? It doesn't look like we're that far from Hollywood so that might be cool. Anyone who's been out there got any recommendations on what to do out there for a day? I don't want to spend barely any money. Sight seeing would be great. We're definatley going to check the ocean out (neither my wife or I have ever been to Cali to begin with). So what are some cool places to check out. Also.. food places. local stuff, no chain resturants (also cheap). ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Never been out there either, but isn't the Peterson Automotive Museum in LA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Forget the tourist stops. Hit up PCH through Long Beach. I was out there for a week last year for work and it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Nice.. Thanks Paul. Yeah I was hoping to hit up some home eatery stuff out there (no chain stores). He lives in some rich snob area of LA so going in the ghetto won't be a big deal. I forgot about the in and out burger. Definatley will check it out. Thanks.
