"Los Angeles" a Los Angeles Travel Page by Agraichen

Definitely a page in progress.....WOW, its been 5 years since graduation and my daughter continues to blaze her way in Hollywood. With the writers strike last year and the threat of a SAG strike this year, she decided to go back to school and change professions. So, in July she applied to USC "post back" to get into Med School. Guess I'll need to really go back to work now for a few more years.

One thing you can count on in LA is traffic. This is a shot from the Kodak theater area looking toward Griffith Park and the "famous" Hollywood sign. When asking directions you don't get the "distance" in miles, you get directions in the amount of time it will take you to get from one place to another. After all at "rush hour" on the 405, only 2 miles could be an hour.

Sometimes you're better off on the city streets, even though they might look just as bad.

The "mall" next to the Kodak Theater has many upscale shops and restaurants. It does however still try to cater to everyone with places like Hot Topic with more reasonable clothing prices to go with Sephora and their stratospheric make-up prices.

The two restaurants featured will be in the restaurant tips. Both are great, a bit pricey, but normal for the quality in this part of town.
