If you\'re going to the Los Angeles area, you should definitely check out Knott\'s Berry Farm (a theme park), and Huntington beach (great surfing).
At the risk of sounding like a pretentious ass, both of these locals are in Orange County, south of LA county. I know you said \"LA area\". I just get fussy about it for two reasons: 1- I was born, raised and have lived here all my life and it\'s always been frustrating being lumped in with the them (the LA Battle Bunker is in OC) and my home land never getting recognition except in a bad 90210 knock off (and most of that was filmed in LA). 2- I really dislike LA. Damn near hate the place. : ) It has a few good clubs and Cantor\'s (
link) but it\'s really a wretched hive of scum and villainy. : ) Family and friends are the only really good reasons to go there. Booze, sex, and/or food are acceptable if need be. ; )
End Rant (thanks again for tolerating my strong biases)
@Rosac - If you make it this far south... Both of E.T.\'s recommendations are good (just be sure to check the water conditions in HB before you go in the water). Also you might consider doing the traditional Disneyland visit.
For minis shops, I don\'t know of any in LA proper. The closest to downtown LA that I know of is The War House in Long Beach (can\'t find their website so here\'s a review
link)
(Long Beach is the southern most city in LA county along the coast)
Or further south, in Garden Grove, is my personal favorite, Brookhurst Hobbies (
link ) I wuvses dat pwace :bouncy: It\'s mostly a plastic models shop, but they have an excellent selection of Reaper, Privateer Press, GW boxed items, and Rackham\'s prepainted stuff and a decent selection of a lot of other manufacturers. They also have a BIG bunch of historical minis games. They have a really good section of OOP and older RPG stuff as well as the new stuff. And they ship to Antarctica. : )
