Sip Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Ah! Malibu ... believe me, if I could, I would ... live there ... even in a kayak I used to work for a few years at HRL (Hughes Research Labs) which is on the hill on top of Perpperdine University right in Malibu. It has one of the most spectacular views I have EVER seen in my life. On a clear day, you can see almost the entire western coastline of Los Angeles, all the way to Long Beach and even the tower at LAX airport which is probably 50 miles away!!! On some days, you can even see the buildings on Catalina Island which is pretty far ... This Link has an Apple Quicktime VR image of what I'm talking about ... it's taken right in front of the cafeterria where we used to have lunch almost everyday. But nooooo ... we are stuck in "the valley" where it's hotter than hell in the summer and the people are very old and very boring But one thing I love about here is that the streets are wide and straight. You got east-west streets and you got north-south streets. Everything organized in rectilinear fashion !!! You go to places like San Francisco or major cities in Europe and their streets are like spagetti ... one crosses the other, loops around something else, changes names about 50 times ... I was trying to find 17th street in San Francisco once ... so I'm drivng past 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and of course I think I am there when all of a sudden I see 18th street!!! WTF???? I went back and forth a few times and I couldn't find 17th street I hate San Francisco. Hmmmm, ok, I'll shut up now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 I know well where HRL is at. I use to drive between our Santa Monica office and Westlake office through the canyon there and I have to say that it is the most spectacular drive in LA. I always looked forward to those days when we had a meeting in Westlake so I could drive on Las Virgenes road. The drive south is even better as you go through the tunnel and see the ocean. By the way Nobu right down the hill from HRL in the Town Center mall is BY FAR the best sushi in town. mmmmmmmmmmmm sushi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Those tunnels are pretty strange! I used to take Malibu canyon road ... on the "valley side" it would normally be around 95 to 100 degress F. on the Ocean side, it would usually be around 70 to 80 degrees! It was like going through a door from outside into an air conditioned building. I always drive with my windows down but everytime would get caught by surprise when the temperature would just drop like 20 degrees!!!
