Nobody wanted to hang out in downtown LA either. But they built the Staples Center, the Nokia Theatre, ESPN moved there, there are restaurants, a new Marriott. To quote Field of Dreams, "if you build it, they will come."

I used to hang out in Inglewood a fair amount.

I loved Mr. Jims BBQ.

The first track I ever went to, roughly 1956-57... I was probably 6 years old and was dragged there before dawn by a nere do well, slightly estranged grand dad.... we watched the workouts in the cool dawn. He had a stop watch, and I remember distinctly, a horse turning for home and really working and he tapped me on the shoulder and said..."watch this one... a stakes horse"

not a rumor, but not a done deal either. the gov recommended selling several california properties, with del mar being one of them. but del mar is a money maker, whereas some other locales may not be. i wouldn't worry about it just yet.

A city is judged based upon the quality of its IHOP.

Should let people in free (not charge $8 minimum to get in to give up %.) I don't think it's a dump, but it's pretty close to being that (close enough.)

Off topic but speaking of tracks that I've never heard anything positive about that was actually rather enjoyable- I spent last Saturday afternoon at Pimlico and quite enjoyed it. Nothing like sitting outside on a beautiful day with a nice breeze with 2000 of your closest friends.
