Title: Recommendations needed (drill press operators need not reply)
Post by: Pell City Tiger on April 20, 2017, 07:11:44 PM
I have to travel to Los Angeles for business. The location I'm auditing is located in Commerce (east side of the city).

Which airport do you recommend: LAX or Long Beach?

I'm not exactly thrilled about this trip, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Oh cool.  Didn't 2PAC and Dre do a song about that place.  Something like,

California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, the city of Commerce
We keep it rockin'

I think that's it but my memory ain't so good no more.

If I go the LAX route, I can stop by Compton and pour one out for Biggie. Commerce, on the other hand, is the next neighborhood south of East LA. I can't La Raza very well.

Biggie was East Coast, yo.

Shit! Thanks for the heads up. I would have gotten capped for this faux pas.

I have forgotten, are you a blood or a crip. This will determine the airport.

I went through LAX and there was surprisingly little hassle.  It was a much easier visit than I imagined.  Never even considered flying to Long Beach.  Guess I didn't know I could.  Looked at Burbank, but that was too expensive comparatively.

Some things to remember:
1) In Koreatown redlights mean nothing to pedestrians.  I nearly hit two old Korean men wandering in the street against the light.
2) If you're over on Sunset and see an old homeless man in a plaid shirt, khakis and a blue trucker hat do not look.  He might drop out his Beluga white man beast and piss on the sidewalk.  As well as dribble down his leg.
3) The girl in fishnets on Hollywood Blvd. isn't a girl
4) Just because the map says you're 30 miles away doesn't mean it's 30 minutes.  Jesus hell. Left at 7:45 am from Anaheim for a 10:30 appointment just north of Hollywood (33 miles on the map)  thinking we'd have plenty of time to eat something and do a little sightseeing along the way.  Shit.  Barely made 10:30.
5) Little Saigon has a mean vibe.  Avoid that area.

Commerce is like in East LA, right?  LAX is closer if I remember.  If it's East LA, look up Cheech or Chong.

You could go into either Ontario or Santa Ana.  If you go the John Wayne route, just watch for Ponch in the streets.  He's kind of an asshole.

I like to fly in to John Wayne whenever I fly out there which is a couple times a year. I also like to stay and dine in Costa Mesa. It's nice there.

LAX isn't bad, but it's busy. If you don't have status to use priority lines, the wait may be long. But that is probably the best place to fly if you are staying and working in Commerce.

I think I'll end up doing the LAX option. I'm not looking forward to it at all.

What did you decide about crossing swords?

You know what they say, "When in Rome do what the Romans do." All options are still on the table.

If you are looking for dinner close to LAX, go to The Warehouse in Marina Del Rey. Great food and atmosphere. Crab cakes there are awesome.

You need to go to LA, via Omaha!
