Certainly. Oh, wait. On second thought, hell no, you would steal the show.

Randys Donuts In Inglewood and the Rib shack In west Compton... I liked the markets downtown. The beach is always fun but its packed... your Idea of fun and Mine may be two tottaly diffrent things In LA.

The fun stuff is always where you least expect it... The Slauson supermall Is a fun place too. Del Amo Mall too.

PJs OK. We're casual here. Heck! you don't even need close for some places. Lots to do here. I once went sking, skydiving, and surfing all in the same day. If you can't find something to do here, your not trying or in a coma.

Oooooh I do love some good food!!! Where are the markets downtown? As a general rule, I hate shopping (malls), but like to poke around in the more unique shops and such. I plan on spending some time at BeSpun in L.A., anything good in that area?

I went there, Art Carr's shop, Turbo City on Katella Ave, and to KenneBell, though my trip took place back in the late eighties. I would second the Peterson museum but I've never been.

Well the Slauson Supermall in kind of an indoor strip mall.... Earls hot Dogs is pretty good as well as Kookooroos. The best markets downtown are the Grand Central markets and some of the Latino markets. Just be mindful at night and if you go to Earls hot dogs or the Supermall/the rib shack be prepared to go a lil out of your way. Worth it IMO
