"Anytime, anyplace, adventure always awaits." Pt. 1

I think I'm going to take this time to talk about some amazing places in LA that I found in my adventures thats worth checking out, or places that are not so amazing but still worth checking out.

1- The Geologic "Center" of Los Angeles cir. 1990
To get there, I'll take you from the corner of Venture blvd. and Coldwater Canyon blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, from that corner head southbound into the hills, keep driving through Coldwater Cyn until you reach the intersection of Coldwater and Franklin Canyon Dr. and turn right. Drive down that street  and you'll reach the Franklin Canyon Resevoir. When you get to the first stop sign in the park (really stop, theres a camera) turn left into the parking lot. At the parking lot, head in this direction on foot:

The rest of the instructions you can find here in this website: http://laist.com/2008/07/15/eureka_i_have_f.php

I happened to just stumble by it and its still there. Its marked by a plaque, this is what it looks like.

2- The Museum of Jurassic Technology
I'm not sure yet exactly what this is, I passed by it on my way to the Hare Krishna temple in Culver city, but it sounds promising. Here is the link: http://www.mjt.org/

3- Cosmopolitan Books
My new favorite book store; cramped, claustrophobic, books-to-the-ceiling, musty, dusty, and dangerously combustible, you may not find exactly what your looking for, but you can try, and along the way you'll definitely find many other books that your going to want to get.

I'll put more up later as I come by them or remember.
