New small targets are popping up. The largest store is in Burbank. One downtown but I hear it is a tad more expensive. The one in Eagle Rock on Colorado is a regular target and easy to get to and park.

The most delicious tacos in Los Angeles! Close to Dodger Stadium. Unfortunately, there can be a long line to order. There is a sweet patio in the back. Try the sample plate! I replace the chicharron taco.

The Los Angeles River has been restored for excellent urban nature! You can bike on the path or walk and see blue herons, white egrets, and mallards. You can park at Lewis McAdams Park and go south, stop at Spoke or Lingua Franca. On some weekends in the spring and summer, you can Kayak down the river!
