I have been wondering how the traffic was in the L.A. area. I remember when I would fly into LAX, if I was staying over, I would drive over to Long Beach and maybe have lunch or dinner, depending on the time of day. My sister-in-law lived in Torrance. Her husband, my b-i-l was an attorney, (PI) and we would maybe have dinner. The last time we did that was 2009 and he took us to a place called “Nick’s.” Good food and really good service. I really liked the area. If I lived out there, my favorite area was Century City. Good choice or not?
If you're back in this area & you go to Long Beach, I recommend Parker's Lighthouse in Shoreline Village (when restaurants are open again). Great seafood.
Traffic is down dramatically. As @Getyoung said about his area, LA rush hour traffic also closely resembles non-holiday weekend (or summer beach weather) Sunday mornings.
I used to hear so much bad about the L.A. area, but I enjoyed every stay over when I flew out there and I have even vacationed out there. Century City just always appealed to me. Yes, I disliked the traffic on the 405, 5 and the 10, but other than that, I enjoyed my times out there. Burbank and Hollywood often fascinated me at night. The freak show in Hollywood was always entertaining. On Sundays, there was nothing like spending the day at Venice Beach. Talk about a freak show. I was out there a few years ago and I saw this real deep colored green building with a sign on it. I think it read, “Dr. Green.” You go in one door and see the “doctor” and he gives his so-called patient a prescription for MJ, then, you come out and go in the next door and get it filled. Funny stuff. I also liked the beaches. Huntington and Santa Monica are my favorites. The Beverly Hilton is a great place to stay and the drive up the PCH is the best, especially when stopping off at the many great towns along the way up to San Francisco. And that’s another favorite place of mine. I could go on and on, but I’m preaching to the choir. I’m starting to feel like I need to get back out there.
I also love L.A., and it warms me to read your positive reflections.
My sister-in-law now lives in Orange County out by Anaheim Stadium. Surprisingly, it’s very quiet and not very busy in the part she lives. I walk from her place over to the stadium. We were there back when The Rolling Stones held a concert there. We sat outside and listened to the concert without being in the crowd.
Isn't California one of the states most severely affected by COVID19? If so, you really should adhere to the stay home request as much as possible. Hubby and I are limiting ourselves to one visit each to the shops per week. My state, NSW, is managing to force the infection transmission rate down because most people are complying with social isolation guidelines. Mistakes, including some bad ones concerning a cruise ship, were made at first but we have learnt fast and our hospitals are not being overwhelmed just now but if the restrictions are loosened too soon, we could be in bad trouble.
What percentage of lives would be lost if we do not accept some form of lockdown?
As of this date, the percentage of deaths from coronavirus in the United States is 0.00571428571429%
Well, true be told, I’m often absurd. I also have a panic disorder issue. That makes me both panicked and absurd. But at least I have toilet paper!
Me too, often absurd and more often than not. I also have panic issues. But when it comes to the Really Big Issues, I am usually very logic driven and most definitely Unafraid. As for toilet paper, Yes, Me Too!Well, true be told, I’m often absurd. I also have a panic disorder issue. That makes me both panicked and absurd. But at least I have toilet paper!
If I believed everything they're telling us, I would stay home. But I don't.
The odds are heavily in your favor.
