East coast visitor needs a few pointers.
Greetings all.
I'll be visiting your fair city in about a week's time and am in the process of choosing a hotel that will be strategically located for strip clubs and SW tracks. The thing is I'm trying to package it with my airline ticket and Expedia offers hotels concentrated in several regions: along Sepulveda Blvd south of LAX right down to Redondo Beach; several off the Santa Ana Fwy near Buena Park and Anaheim; a few near OC airport. Don't see anything offered near either Long Beach or Gardena which are two locales where you all seem to troll with reasonable success. I'm using Google Maps to get the lay of the land, but am wondering if you fellas might have some pointers.
The other option is to just priceline my hotel separately on arrival. That would give me a bit more flexibility so I wouldn't be committed to a specific region for the entire week.
Anyhow, I anticipate a successful week out there which I'll do my best to document on this forum. Also would be glad for the opportunity to reciprocate should any of you find yourselves bound for the mid-Atlantic region.
Cheers. SD
Trek: 757 Rapid / 207. Western Avenue
Trek during the late evening on the next to last bus indicated the real navigation task ahead, if one is up to it. One would need special spoting skills to say the least and an older model car to blend it. Not including the courage to approach the providers. This was a 8:30 pm trek.
Doing the dig exchange on the thread is lot easy than a trek at night. That also with the implied risks. LE cars noted during the trek,
No clear demarification as to the providers at 8:30 pm. Sitting by the bus stop or hanging out by the gas station or food stores. Facial expression mutted in most cases.

[QUOTE=Alxm1;1199897]Western is parallel to Figueroa, and about 2 miles west of it. A good main cross street to start at is Century Blvd and go north on it. You'll find SW all the way up to Adams Blvd.[/QUOTE]
