I like Pep Boys for basic parts - air filters, headlights, car wash, etc. I don't exactly go there for my brake pads and that sort of thing, but it's a cheap place to get the cheap and often replaced parts. I find that the employees usually aren't all that useful, so I don't really bother asking them for help. The prices are pretty cheap. It's not exactly the cleanest store in town.

I've been to Discount Tire for my oil changes twice. Not only are their prices reasonable, they are also fast! Located on Arroyo and Bellevue, they are close to Old Town. If you check your Yellow Pages, you might just find a coupon. I think I paid about ten dollars for an oil change here! Stand by their work. Had to go back for something and they fixed it at no cost. Good pricing.

The French-American School of Los Angeles (Los Feliz campus) has come a long way in the years since it opened. When I first visited the campus in 1990, it was a run-down facility with a barren dirt play yard struggling to get on its feet. Now it is a thriving place of learning, with full classrooms, bright play equipment and grassy fields outside. The campus sits on six green acres, and its classrooms are a collection of one-story octagonal buildings, which are now protected by the California Historical Society. There are huge eucalyptus trees throughout, and in the background towers the famous “Shakespeare bridge” built in the 1920s. These great, round buildings are divided into pie-shaped spaces, and because the windows go on uninterrupted for 360 degrees, (picture an airport control-tower) there is a wonderful feeling of openness and light. The kindergarten program is a traditional academic one and all subjects are taught in French. The school goes up to the 12th grade, but it doesn’t feel like a typical

Pilgrim School is a (non-denominational) division of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. The church and school buildings are architecturally stunning, massive granite structures that blend in nicely with the downtown urban setting. The school has an old-fashioned feel to it with sash windows, varnished oak doors and molding, and black and white checkerboard tile floors. This is a traditional academic school with a rigorous curriculum. A staggering 100% of Pilgrim School graduates go on to higher education, many finding success at Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Vassar, Columbia, Yale, West Point, Georgetown University, and the Claremont Colleges. The people I met during my many visits (educators, administrators, parents, and church officials) have a great deal of love, dedication, and support for the school.

Located in Little Tokyo, this theatre is a great venue that showcases music, dance and other cultural performances in addition to being an often-used venue for local LA film festivals. Though predominately Asian-specific performances are held here, this venue hosts international performers, as well. Great acoustics and sightlines. Annual programs highlight up and coming artistes and bring out talent from Asia and parts of Asian America. More can be done to include artists of marginalized communities.

When my mom was attending a private college that was around the corner from Shatto Lanes, she would drop me and a friend off and we would bowl there. They were good lanes, did pretty good there. Their prices were more reasonable then the lanes where I was use to going to. I have my own shoes and ballso I have no idea how theirs are. The people who work there are friendly and you get to become like a regular so they started holding a lane for us knowing we were coming. Nice place.

Been here and was suprised by many of the wax statues that seemed very real, ofcourse some had a close likeness but not to fool you like some. I saw a particular scene of the movie the exorcist here where the possesed girl was on the ground (sitting on the floor) and the priest on his feet rebuking the devil out of her and that looked amazingly real, it was scary. I like wax museums because they're completely absurd. When you think about it, it's inexplicable that 21st-century adults like me will actually pay money to see mannequins in various poses. At the Hollywood Wax Museum, some of these poses worked, but many of them were failures both as likenesses and as aesthetic objects. The 12.95 admission price was scarier than most of the Chamber of Horrors.

This is definitely a "different" coffee house, appropriate for Hollywood. The interior is very dark, with long tables shared by writer-types on laptops and artsy folks with sketch pads. There are pool tables and computers with paid internet services.The coffee is quite good- try the macchiato- though the servers sometimes focus on their "regulars" sitting at the bar rather than the growing line. The have a variety of snacks and light meals- I really liked the vegetable sandwich I got that came with these cool veggie chips. It is a little pretentious in here and the music is sometmes loud. Still, its a fun place to come with friends for good coffee and a non-standard environment.
