With the 2024 Paris Olympics officially underway, the countdown is ON for LA28, the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Some of my earliest memories are from my parents taking me to the 1984 Games, and I'm going to detail why L.A. Is the Greatest Olympic City on Earth. We'll also address detractors of the games, and what Los Angeles is doing to ensure that the city will sparkle & shine in its THIRD time hosting the Games:
6:04 - My 1984 Olympic Experience 
9:42 - LA28 "L.A. is the World"
17:07 - 1932 "Sports' greatest triumph"
23:33:07 - 1984 "The Games that Changed Sports Forever"
33:48 - The Venues

L.A.'s 8 Favorite Road Trips!

Los Angeles is described as "88 Cities in Search of a Center" - but why search when you can DO? I find the most unique, historical, and FUN thing to do in each of L.A.'s 88 Cities, from Agoura Hills to Lynwood to Rosemead to Whitter. This is an excellent guide no matter where you are in L.A. County, and will provide you something to do in every city.
