    The W Hollywood and make sure to see San Diego, way different and way prettier. Its a city by the sea.
    San Diego


    LA

    And trust me you will never make it to those mountains, they just look nice.

    For carnival and people watching try to get to Venice Beach and if you are really into bodybuilding go to Santa Monica to the bottom of the pier area and go to Big Deans which is a landmark for BB's with all kinds of memorabilia.

    When in LA, rent a car, drive North on PCH, spend the night in Santa Barbara.
    Many romantic Inns there.

    Downtown Compton has a very unique culture, and many have described it as breathtaking at night. Not to rule out Watts, South Gate, and Gardena as invigorating stops of paradise. If you've always wanted to know what it feels like to try Clen , then take the South Central LA tour.

    When visiting these luxorious destinations don't forget to wear either blue or red to show you're versed in the local culture.

    surprisingly these areas are becoming more desirable to live in now since a lot of developers have invested money into the real estate market and that has pushed a majority of the bad element out. funny comment btw

    ... And in the afternoon, and on the weekends, and ... Well, just about anytime. I've seen gridlock at just about every time and day. The local term for traffic that's not moving is a "Sig Alert."

    From the beaches to the mountains (Big Bear) to the deserts (Palm Springs) there are too many possibilities!

    A tip for you guys is even a huge majority of the people living in Socal hate going to LA!

    Trust the advice on going down to San Diego its crazy beautiful. Pacific beach is tons of fun with lots of crazy people that are really friendly. Go rent some kayaks and go see the caves out there / rent some beach cruisers.
