Walking my dog through West Adams the last year, what I've noticed most is the number of people who just sit in parked cars at 10 at night. What are they doing?

Happened by the purported #1 BBQ joint in Arizona. The head pitmaster had me follow him to the smokers and gave me an impromptu tour. He recommended the beef rib and brisket. The meltiest brisket Iโ€™ve ever had and the BBQ sauce was delicious. The ranking is accurate IMO.

Like me, you may have glimpsed some strange monuments off the 15 on the way to Vegas. Last week, I finally decided to stop by. It's called Liberty Sculpture Park and has a distinct political viewpoint. Think: punk rock Shen Yun. It's open 8a-8p, free to visit, and you can drive up to the exhibits.

It shows you how progressive LA is that Koreatown's Bento Man transitioned and no one batted an eye.
