Long Beach - Where the Queen Mary Lives



Long Beach, California is a city that used to apologize for it self. Once home to one of the largest U.S. Navy bases and Naval shipyards in the world as well as McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft and also often referred to as “Iowa by the sea”, Long Beach is currently home to over 600,000 residents. Where the downtown district once was crowded with sailors and merchant seamen from around the ...

Temecula Valley...SoCal's very own "Wine Country".



Mention the name "Wine Country" to most Californians and they immediately envision the area just north of San Francisco comprised of the three counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino. Without a doubt, this area has been the epicenter of California's emergence as a world-class producer of outstanding wine for the past 40 years.

But, It would be a grievous error to assume that this is the ONLY "Wine Country" in ...

Flea Market Extravaganza

From every day people to celebrities, they visit this remarkable gathering in hopes of finding the ultimate shopping items at great low prices. This event is so huge, it only happens the second Sunday of every month: The Rose Bowl Flea Market. With over ...

The Hollywood Sign



As a native Angeleno the Hollywood Sign has always been a bit cliché. To visit the Hollywood sign would be akin to going to Grauman's Mann Chinese theatre and comparing my hands to DeNiro's, or else paying for admission to the Hollywood Wax Museum. And let me promise you that it wasn't my intent this time either, I was just looking for an enjoyable hike in the Hollywood ...

Move over California Pizza Kitchen



There's no denying CPK founder Ed LaDou did great things for the pizza and since his initial bbq chicken and thai chicken concotions the pizza market exploded and everybody pitched in (although I'll never understand the egg and pea pizza). But CPK became so commercial and the quality's started to drop.

The remedy: Stonefire Pizza Co. on North La Cienega. North of the Bev Center about a mile is ...

Take Me Out to the Ballgame



Baseball diamonds are beautifulThere's nothing more quintessentially American than taking in a baseball game on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. I know what you're thinking: sports teams in California are a joke. That may be true, people may be more preoccupied with living in trees, eating organic, and spending ridiculous amounts of money on entertainment, but still, baseball is baseball.

My friend won in ...

Malibu Seafood



There's nothing better to do on a beautiful day than take a leisurely drive up PCH to get fish'n'chips. Take PCH north past Pepperdine and on your right, right before the famous Malibu trailer park (where Matthew McConaughey has recently set up camp), will be Malibu Seafood.

They offer delicious fish'n'chips, plus a wide array of other seafood and fried chicken strips to satisfy any craving. It can be ...

Surf Your Way to the OC


One of the best ways to spend a beautiful sunny Southern California spring day is at a ballgame. I mean, nothing says spring like baseball. Well, maybe rain does, but this is Los Angeles!

Here in Los Angeles, we have two baseball teams: The Los Angeles Dodgers and The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Seeing the Dodgers always seemed easier to me since they are actually here in L.A., but it ...

Karaoke Thursdays at Hamburger Mary's



Hamburger Mary's, located at Sweetzer and Santa Monica Blvd. in the heart of West Hollywood, is a raucous gay-friendly establishment with delicious drinks, great burgers, and fun theme nights. Wednesdays are Bingo nights, hosted by Belle-Aire, a hilarious drag queen with a biting humor, and are co-hosted by a D-List celebrity. (Well, Paris Hilton co-hosted once.) There are some seriously good prizes to be won, and the ...
