La Brea Tar Pits & Museum

Mid-Wilshire · memory · $$

I find the tar pits more honest than most of Los Angeles's history. The asphalt doesn't care about real estate values. It just slowly devours everything.

Active Ice Age fossil site in the middle of Wilshire Boulevard. The asphalt seeps are still producing — paleontologists are excavating Pit 91 in summer months.
