Charles, have a great time in LA. I've been living close to LA, 40 mi radius, on and off most of my life, but I haven't been in several placed mentioned above.

Not that you are, but if you are ethnic/'other' minority or interested in exploring perhaps LA will be a good place. There are members who could help you.

i.e., I love eating out at Monterey Park, China Town, ordering some food that I have no idea what that is...

Charles, unfortunately, famous people in LA don't really congregate in any one area. They are sort of just, all over the place. Two days ago, I ate lunch next to Leonard Nimoy.
In otherwords, you see them in the supermarket, at the restaurants, dept. stores, dry cleaners, etc. They are just "normal" people around here, with normal lives.

Half the time, you walk by them, you don't even recognize them. They have a way of just sort of "blending in." That is unless the paparzzi happen to be following them, that day.

But if you go to "certain" locations, with the intention of spotting stars, you will likely not see any. It's much more likely, you'll see them at the airport, etc.

And I do not really agree with Boi about the Abbey, It's not a "star" hangout. It is a full fledged gay bar, with a good restaurant, that straight people sometimes go to, with gay friends, for lunch or something.

For sure, Try the Beverly Center, Or The Ivy Or I my favorite bar in the whole wide world, The Abbey in West Hollywood but I warn you that it is more of a Gay Bar but it IS where I met Anna Nicole (RIP) In 2004 and her horrid designer-friend Bobby Trendy (throws up!)

I'm sure it's amazing, if you're gay, which you might recall, I'm not.
However, I was there for a birthday party a few years ago. I saw two lesbians going at it, shirts were getting pulled off, boobs flying everywhere, that was pretty hot..

Any suggestions on things that I *must* do/see? I know I would like to:
drive the pch
see the chinese theatre
see the hollywood sign
maybe drive through beverly hills
check out a dodgers game

So many things, so little time <sigh>
