In California on business. Had the weekend free, so I thought I'd checkout the harbor & aquarium. Luckily I checked out their website & found a very valuable $10 off coupon! So if you're planning a visit, be sure to checkout the website.
The displays were fairly large and wide-open providing enough room for viewing & to see plenty of fish! Although the sharks were interesting and the seals were fun, my favorite display has to be the all of the jellyfish displays! They are all so beautiful!
The only drawback is the expense; you've got to pay to park, pay admission, pay to feed some of the animals, etc...adds up quickly.
Pros: Great, Bright Displays
Cons: Can Be Expensive

I am actually going to this school right now. This place is fantastic. All the students are friendly, unlike many other schools. Many of the professors are great too. They get along with the students most of the time and they try to understand the students. For highschoolers thinking about going to a California State University school, they should seriously consider going here.

No, really! It's impossible to not have a great view of the amazing shows put on here, from their full-scale musicals to their smaller, more specialized one-night-only shows. You can get great half-off deals for this through Goldstarevents.com,a nd since you basically pay for anything that hasn't been sold, you're guaranteed not to be disappointed. They have a great production value and hire not only locals but also visiting SAG and AEA performers, so you're sure to get a great-quality show. Good restaurants are also nearby. Parking is usally $5.

The El Dorado Birthday Train is such a fun place to go for the entire family. The train goes around the park and is such a neat ride for kids and adults alike. The park itself is really very nice as well with lots of trees around and a beautiful lake. Rides are available for the lake on a paddle boat or a row boat at an additional fee. But these boat rides are a lot of fun as well and an educational experience for kids where parents can take the opportunity to teach their kids the technique of rowing a boat and boat safety.

Fingerprints is something of an little bohemian oasis on the upper crust sidewalks of Belmont Shore in Long Beach. A big little record store, the selection is heavy on Indie rock, but there are small but well-maintained sections of jazz and classical as well. Hip older rock--timeless stuff like the Stones and all kinds of psychedelia--is represented pretty well in the stacks. They make a strong effort to get limited edition vinyl pressings and have some great rare vinyl. I don't think they pay especially well for used music--they aren't bad, but they aren't as good as Rockaway or Amoeba--but they do buy just about everything. They have unbelieveable in-store performances...Jonathon Richman, Dave Alvin, Iron & Wine, even Patti Smith have all played there.

THIS COMPANY HAS IT ALL, MY SON NEEDED A VIOLIN WE SEARCHED HI AND LOW AND FOUND THIS GREAT COMPANY, THE SERVICE WAS GREAT. THEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT AND EVEN OFFERED A RETURN POLICY " IF YOUR CHILD DECIDED THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY ANY MORE" YOU COULD RETURN IT AND GET SOME OF YOUR MONEY BACK.

An oustanding course. Hit it straight and you'll play like a pro. Wild shots will punish you and make you wonder how a course with such short holes can cause such a high score.The front side requires straight shots. The back side is hilly and requires the proper hillside shot techniques. For this reason I have found it a great course to practice on prior to a tournament anywhere.

Koos Art Center is as much a punk rock hangout/co-operative as an art space. Punk bands play there pretty frequently, and the art is kind of punk as well--it tends to be made by young artist and is low-to-middle-brow in nature. If that sounds like fun to you, it will be; if it doesn't, you should probably give it a pass. I've always had fun there, but I've never seen anything Earth-shattering there.
