The observatory (Griffith Park Observatory)is being renovated and is now
closed.

The Peterson Auto Museum is highly recommended - it is in West LA within a

As far as shooting - in some neighborhoods (called "'hoods") some people will
do that for you (just kidding) - LA is no better or worse than other
megalopolisis in the USofA.
