Good memories and a suntan.

It’s not the most unique and it’s hardly a secret but the Getty Center, situated on top of a mountain overlooking LA and the Pacific Ocean, never fails to impress.

Neighborhoods in which most of the windows have bars.

10. Any local secrets you want to share?

As great as Santa Monica is to visit it’s even better to live there even if the City Council is predominantly communist.
