Work brought me there this week, and my co-worker summed it up pretty nicely.
It’s an endless suburb, with industrial parks mixed in.
What an awful place. We stayed in Huntington Beach… which I guess is alright. There was a Dairy Queen and a decent Italian place within walking distance of the hotel.
The only time we saw the beach was at 6am each morning.
and at 8pm-ish; when we got back to the hotel.
Other than that, our time was spent sitting in conference rooms and in the rental car (in order to get to said conference room). The highlight of LA was probably seeing this row of A380’s at the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
