Good stuff...Thanks again guys!
We don't get to the beach often, so staying by the beach would probably be a good idea...Thoughts? -Mark Quote:

If there's interest in architecture and anyone in the crowd likes the movie Blade Runner, how about the Bradbury building?

I've always wanted to stay here: http://www.marinadelreyhotel.com
I have eaten in their fancy restaurant. It was very nice. I've ridden my bike by it many times and my wife and I walk by it often. Not sure how expensive it is, but it sure looks nice! Many nice hotels on Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica as well. Lots of places to chose from at the beach. |

LA is an ugly city. IMO, only Vegas is uglier (for cities with a population of 1M plus). But LA is an amorphous thing and people who live on the coast (Coast) dont think LA is ugly. |

As I get older, I tend to judge less and keep an open mind about the world around me. Tito's Taco's one night, the Guerrilla Taco Truck another and Campos another night. All good in very different ways. But all are good in their own way. All have their place in the world of taco's. Oh, you are correct about living on the coast and not thinking it's ugly. Just look out my window from the 7th floor of my condo ( the ocean, the Marina with bobbing boats and spectacular sunsets many nights of the week ) ...:banana: |

Well...
I ended up with a little walkway bungalow in Venice, off AirBnB, and I just need to grab something near Burbank for Friday night (early flight Sat.).
Since we're staying in Venice...any specific recommendation for MdR, Venice, Santa Monica for food/coffee would be great. We'll be checking out Echo Park/Silver Lake/Griffith. We'll be checking out the Eames house for sure, and try to take in some G&G/Pasadena/+FLW, and perhaps some CS houses if we have time. Beeatnik's preservation links look excellent, as well. On Friday we're going to head up towards SB, via 1 + 101, and then thru Ojai, as recommended...ending in Burbank for the night. For sure eating in KoreTown and Little Armenia...any other/specific recommendation more than welcome...Also stand-out coffee places, wherever. Don't want to start a generational taco war, but suggestions are welcome! Right now, looks like the weather is conspiring against us for Tues. and Wed. TA -Mark |

Nice restaurants, interesting scene on Abbott Kinney in Venice. Local taco joint where the gardners go: Campos Tacos on Washington in Culver City ( very close to Venice ). Canal streets in Venice: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veni...toric_District Interesting Frank Geary houses and buildings in Venice and Santa Monica: http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildi...ach_House.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehry_Residence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars_Building I don't think you will find the weather anywhere as severe as in the Midwest. Enjoy! |
