La Brea is a fascinating place to visit and there’s a park around it. I’ve been there a few times and there’s always this or that area of the lawn taped off as tar is seeping at that spot at that time. Smells like an old gas station. So i think this is nothing unusual. It just happens to be coming up in that particular spot.

It is a fun and fascinating place to visits. Fantastic exhibits in the visitor center. Far, far better than the Hollywood Walk with the stars in the sidewalk.

Exactly right. I first went there in the early 1970s and was surprised to see all the spots where it was just coming up out of the ground ... many of them weren't taped off and people had tried to dig into the spots with small sticks they had found. It's been going on for thousands of years and will continue to go on for thousands of years.

Always wondered how animals could get stuck but then visited and saw that it was to all appearances just another pond/lake. Was a little disappointed. Only tar was some bubbling up above the waterline.
