Caprock Cafe, Spanky's, Chimy's and Sazon are on my short list.
I'm late, but standing for the pledge....
My favorite Hangout? Twenty years ago..(or more) The Lariat Club in San Jose, CA.
Me and my friends were known as the "Kamikaze kids"( we drank Kamikazes, maybe 6 or more each night)..and danced with the good looking guys.
Actually, we danced with the bad looking guys too..so long as they could dance!
At 50, I now Know what the term "youth is wasted on the young" means
Go Bless you troops! Thanks for keeping me safe enough to DANCE!
The Reagan Library in Simi Valley. It is not a library anymore - it's a really great big museum - and I mean BIG. I brought a woman there from Brazil that is becoming a US citizen and she read everything there was to read! 5 hours of walking around. Reagan's Air Force 1 707, Marine 1 helicopter, his limosine is there and fully assembled and polished on display in a big new building with a glass wall that I have never seen before. Part of the Berlin Wall with graffiti on the West side and no graffiti and 2 bullet holes on the East side. A Tomohawk cruise missile.
It opens at 10AM daily. Get there early. The parking lot fills up fast. Its popular for couples on a date. There are about 6 video presentations of points in history.
I have directions from LAX to the destination. You hire an M-1 Abrams tank to get you up the 405 FWY to the 118W around Mission Hills. Rent a normal truck or car there. Go South on Madera Road and behave nice around the people there. After a few miles there will be signs telling you to turn right for the "library" and drive up a big hill overlooking a valley.
P.S. My Brazilian nurse love is far more conservative and smarter than an American women can hope to be. She lived with stupidity. Smart Brazillians are coming here. Welcome them in all career fields. The food is good!
