last time I went to L.A was in 2012.
was already beginning to turn into a dump.
 
I went to a medieval torture museum once.....good luck sleeping that night after going.
 
It is a shame that some of these have been around so long and are now bum infested, drug riddled holes.

The La Brea tar pit is going to be LA's solution to homelessness.

Just a matter of time

Coincidentally, there are a bunch of homeless folks living in tents directly in front of the La Brea Tar Pit. I see them all the time.
 
I really loved visiting there...Sad t see what its become.

I loved the studio tours, driving around the Hollywood Hills and PCH, eating at Roscoe's and Greenblatt's (RIP). Going to the New Beverly Cinema and the Egyptian Theater. The Death Museum was a little much though.

I was thinking of taking a trip to the New Beverly and Disneyland in October for some Halloween fun.
 
I lived in quite a few Southern California cities. I lived in malibu, and this is the first time I knew it was founded in 1991. I was like what the heck does that mean, 1991, and I guess I ended up learning something. I figured it was founded much earlier.
