The Battle of Las Angeles in 1942

I and my family have lived many years in L.A and surounding towns and of all the strange events in this world let alone L.A.'s this one takes the cake, it is unbelieveble and it was a mass hysteria event of the largest scale and so bizzar it was just forgotten and blended into every day war time and world news, but 1,490 to 1,500 rounds of High explosive masive 90mm aaa anti- aircraft shells were fired and scored direct hits but had no efect at all upon it, I am writing and indepth artical on the entire event and anolizing all criteria at at hand, I will post when I am ready to, but for now you can google "Battle of Las Angeles in 1942.

Randy's is not the only location of the Big Donut Drive-In chain still in existence. There are at least four others:
Kindle's Do-Nuts on South Normandie, LA (the original location, opened in 1950)
Donut King II on South Western Avenue in Gardena
Dale's Donuts on South Atlantic Avenue in Compton
and
Bellflower Bagels on Bellflower Blvd in Bellflower
Each of these features the 22 foot diameter donut on top.

[...] There are some neat things about L.A. though, like the Museum of Jurassic Technology, but the thought of travelling all the way to see decaying dice takes too much effort. I’m sure that it wouldn’t really beat staying in and watching The Young and the Restless. [...]

As a result of its metallic facade and non conformity with surrounding structures, the nickname "Schrottplatz (nee Disney) Hall" has become associated with our symphony venue. Google defines "Schrottplatz" as "scrap metal recycling depot", but it sounds so intellectual and artistic in German that even classical lovers affectionally toss off "I'm going to the Schrottplatz tonight for the Schubert song cycle".

[...] We’ve blogged about Grandma Prisbrey’s Bottle Village before on Neatorama, now it seems like someone has made a blog dedicated to this place (which is crumbling and needs help): Grandma Prisbrey’s Bottle Village, initially closed by the City of Simi Valley in 1984 due to unsafe conditions, continues to disintegrate in the midst of suburban prosperity. A unified cooperative effort between Preserve Bottle Village and the City of Simi Valley or any alternative umbrella agency remains to this day, unsuccessful. Although the site is “Officially Closed”, Preserve Bottle Village owns the property, allowing volunteers to enter at their own risk. As long as no one complains about site activity, the City’s prevailing attitude seems to be “don’t ask, don’t tell” and “look the other way”. Donations and private tours are the only source of income. [...]

Very cool list. I'll put mine up when I get a sec.

I worked at HSX right next to that there lawn chair. I would have relaxed in it myself, except that it was always occupied by one of the local homeless fellows.
