LA Local Classics

"Maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there."
-The Stranger
Born and raised classics! To all you tumbling tumble weeds looking for something funky and fun that's close to you while you're in town. Check out my map of local gems I’ve grown fond of in my time growing up here. Recomendations beyond the walk of fame. My gift to all you sinners.
Special focus to the South Bay with classic recomendations throughout LA county. This map is helpful for finding worthwhile outings and maybe even finding new tried and true spots if you’re a local.

Man, I miss LA. Goin' home always makes me want to just live my life all over again, you know what I mean? I grew up smelling the sea breeze and seeing the sunset in the beauty of a smoggy horizon.
Come with me, sit in the traffic, and throw your sun glasses on cause damn is it bright. I'll tell you what's worth the hype and little places worth seeing along the way.
