I don’t think Endeavour should go to the California Science Center in Los Angeles. What has Los Angeles done to deserve a Space Shuttle?

The shuttles were built in Southern California, and the very first flight (actual glide tests) occurred there.

Also, the very first shuttle landing (Columbia), and several subsequent landings, was at Edwards AFB in SoCal.
