50 Things to do in L.A.

I've lived in L.A. for some time now and am constantly feeling like I should be out exploring the city.  When I first moved to Los Angeles, I bought all the tour books and went on adventures every weekend.   Within a week of arriving I found Central Casting and was on the set of a studio movie the next day.  #31 DONE.  As the months and years have passed I have gotten complacent about my new city, but am still able to cross off several.  This list gives me a renewed vigor.  I'm hoping to find new food and drink along the way.
