Tourist without a Cause
Having tried to visit once before but being thwarted by the whole 'closed for renovations' thing, I finally visited the Griffith Observatory. The day was only average for long distance visibility, but the views were none the less impressive, and the building itself is quite impressive, right down to the little tribute to Jimmy Dean.
