^Car. Definitely rent a car.
The City of Angels

There are a lot of things in a lot of outlying cities that you may want to see. Mass transit is there, but may take you a while to use. I suggest renting a car.
I'm guessing that you will also want to see/tour the Big A (home of the Angels) while you are there. Anaheim is about 30 to 45 minutes south of LA.

That's funny because the real name of the captial city of Thailand isn't really Bangkok; it's Krungthep...meaning: The City of Angels. And you know those Thai people are known for being probably the most fearsome fighters. A lot of UFC champions were trained in Thailand like Anderson the Spider Silva.
I'm from Nor Cal, though, but I hear the largest population of people from Thailand is in L.A....
I guess outsiders don't know how to party it like the west side!

LA actually has a decent rail network. It'll get you to a good number of places. Bus lines though ... suck. At least, that's my opinion.
You guess correctly.
Looks like Angel Stadium has better transit access (including rail), as do most of the other CA ballparks. Apparently the only non-car way to get to Dodger Stadium is by the bus which Shameless loves so much.
Too right. One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster.
Don't let the name of the city fool ya...! We are like vampires here!

It once took me 2 hours to cross LA, going 5 mph, so yeah, I'll say so.
I remember a similar, if not a fair bit longer, journey across London during an evening rush hour. Man, I would hate to do that sort of journey with any sort of regularity. Once in a blue moon, sure. Regularly, what a nightmare...
Well, we made it home safely after two full days at Disneyland. Had a great time, but now I'm totally exhausted.
Got a nice dose of traffic along the 5 this morning. We were planning to leave Anaheim by 6:00, but just as we were getting into the car, our genius daughter realized she left her iPod in the hotel room. That delayed us a half an hour, and then the city got us.
The wife and son had a great time at the La Brea Tarpits, and roaming around Hollywood. And we got to see all my family, which was great.

I still remember being parked in the 210/5 interchange in the San Fernando Valley for almost an hour without moving one afternoon (it was about 2pm).
There are other US cities with horrible traffic (DC, Atlanta, Houston) but to me, LA still takes the cake.
I know Tombaugh was quite young when he made the discovery, but that he was still around, sixty years later, and available for an interview had to be pretty cool for your friend.
Yes, he was very excited to be able to interview Dr Tombaugh, the only person still living who had discovered a planet (as it was classified at the time). Tombaugh was having a great time visiting JPL during the flyby.
I attended New Mexico State University, where Dr Tombaugh was an Emeritus Professor of Astronomy. A year or two after the flyby, I decided to attend a meeting of the campus astronomy club. Sitting near the back of the room was a smiling Dr Tombaugh himself, around 80 years old but still encouraging students in their love of astronomy. Very cool.
