Hatfield science center is one of my favorites. Have not been there in a while, thanks for the reminder.

Makes it even more cool that it is in my backyard uh literally.

My best neighbors work there too.

Must be a helluva contract.

Thanks Ocean Perch. It's probably an aftershock. Sure hope that that will be the largest quake in L.A for awhile.
