Did you get out to any Dodgers games.
I have been to LA at least 10 times but I have never gone to Dodgers stadium. Definitely on my stadium bucket list. Just never seemed to line up when I was there. I have been to all the other California ballparks.
Oh yes. I was out there in 85, when the Mets were getting very good. Gooden in his prime. I went by myself to the first game of a Dodgers Mets series, and sat next to an old guy from NY. He had extra tickets to the next two games, but didn't have a car. He gave me the extra ticket in exchange for driving him to the games. We had a blast. I do recall the Mets took two of three. I already told you my Anaheim Angels game around that time and the Reggie Jackson incident.

That’s awesome. I keep telling my wife the next time we head out to LA we need to plan it around a Dodgers home stretch.
Truthfully besides the Dodgers game I have no desire to go to LA. I am much more fond of SoCal and San Diego than LA but my wife still has some extended family and friends in LA area she would like to visit.

I lived in Hermosa Beach for a while. That was a really nice beach town, although I haven't been there in 35 years. One place I miss in downtown LA- The Pantry Restaurant. 9th and Figueroa. I still remember the address . Great breakfast place. Other than that, I don't miss LA.

I always thought LA and San Francisco were overrated but Orange country and San Diego were underrated.

There are great places and sites to visit there. Alcatraz was a lot of fun and Oracle park is beautiful. I don’t know, I just didn’t think it lived up to the hype.
