Over the years, the boardwalk has managed to stay uniquely Californian in its unabashed individuality.
It has a gift shop, which is awesome. I always like to go early, get my ticket, and then bum around.
I like to take my kids during certain exhibitions at LACMA. We went to see Tim Burton’s work, and they loved it.
I pack a picnic for us to enjoy before the game starts, and whenever I hear the national anthem it gives me the chills.
It is, quite simply, the best record store in America.
