Manhattan Beach

Your European license is valid in the United States if the friends you are visiting would let you borrow a car, but you are too young to rent/hire a car. Most companies require you to be at least 23. and some 25. To travel from Manhattan Beach to Oxnard (sounds like someone clearing their throat) there is a Metrolink commuter train that operates from L.A. Union Station to Oxnard. You can view the schedules at "www.metrolinktrains.com". Click on "Schedules" then click "Ventura County Line". Remember this is a commuter train that only operates certain times, and days. The fare is $12.00 each way. The LAST train leaves each direction roughly 6:15 pm (1815 hours). The website for the bus schedules to get you from Manhattan Beach to Union Station is playing games with me today. One source is "www.socaltraonport.org". Maybe you'll have better luck with it. Sorry I couldn't help with that one..

Oh my gosh the grunion run is so fun! Just a few tips, if you want to see a LOT of grunion and actually watch them mate go before the fishing season opens for the year, I think you'll have to wait for next year to do this. It is really cool! You shouldn't harass the grunion in anyway if you go to the early runs, but it is so much fun to watch them. If you want to catch grunion make sure you are going on a night when they are running AND it is legal to take them. If you are over 16 make sure you have a California fishing license (you can get one for the night at walmart for about $13). Finally if you are catching grunioun the ONLY legal method of take is by hand, That means you cannot dig holes in the sand, use nets, buckets, your shirt, shoes, nothing but your hands. Once you are holding the grunion to can move them to another container of course Finally there is no limit on the number of Grunion you can catch and take home but wasting fish is a crime. Grunion are small oily fish similar to sardines or mackerel. Not many people really enjoy eating them. Anything other than eating them is wasting them. I know it is not near you but the best grunion runs I have been to are early in the season before it opens to fishing at Seal Beach.

Manhattan Beach is the sort of place that seems almost like a utopia, but in reality it's not nearly as awesome to live there as you might imagine. We had a beach house a block away from the Strand for years, and though I loved it at times, I would not want to live there permanently. Home prices there are astronomical, even in today's sour housing market. One of my dad's friends is looking for a place there and having difficulty finding anything for under $2 million, and that's just for a weekend retreat with a couple of bedrooms, not a sprawling mansion. Apartment rentals are also incredibly high, and you don't get a lot of bang for your buck. My boyfriend and his roommates are paying $3500 a month for their three bedroom, two bath apartment, and they are not renewing their lease. It is incredibly overcrowded in the summer, and it stays fairly crammed most weekends throughout the year. People assume it's blissfully peaceful to live there, but that is not really the case because if you live anywhere near the beach you'll have people walking right past your windows all throughout the day and night. Our dog barked whenever someone walked by the house, and literally all night long they'd be barking. On top of the pedestrian traffic, you also deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic on the weekends and oftentimes during the morning commute. If you are living and working or going to school in MB it's fine, but if you have to commute you're going to tire of it quickly. Parking there is HORRENDOUS. Even if you are a homeowner, you'll be frustrated because your guests have nowhere to park. We could fit our cars in the garage, but the driveway was too short for most cars to fit, and if your car hangs over the sidewalk even a fraction there you get a ticket. Most of the meters and public garages have a time limit and will eat up your quarters quickly (though you can now get this key that is sort of like a prepaid card for them), and if you park at the library for too long you'll get towed. The one reprieve is during the month of December when the city lets you park at all the meters for free. Because the cost of living is so high there, the majority of residents are families or over 35. Most of the younger people are either teens still living with their parents (like me) or USC students (my boyfriend). There are some people in their 20s & early 30s living there, but most prefer nearby Hermosa Beach. You'll find more stores and bars catering to a younger crowd there than in MB. I don't want to totally bash MB because it is stunningly beautiful, but I wanted to give you a more realistic point of view from someone who has spent a whole heckofalotta time there. The perks of living there are fairly obvious: you have easy access to the beach, the weather is perfect 350 days out of the year, the surfing is fantastic and there is almost always a volleyball game you can join. You can ride your bike or walk almost anywhere. Trader Joes and Target are about 10 minutes away. There are some great restaurants there, and the public schools are amongst the best in CA. Also, Uncle Bill's Pancake House has the yummiest breakfasts. I would definitely recommend looking into Hermosa Beach instead, though. ~ Pax / Peace

I grew up & lived in Norco for 30yrs. Chino is not the dairies anymore. It is VERY built up now. Not nice!! I would not put any of my horses there!!! Look in Norco, Mira Loma, Riverside, Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Oxnard, Lompoc. These are good areas to look into. Hope this helps!

The city is picky with their zoning laws. You also might have to price out their licensing fees. Other than that, you have the normal requirements with the alcohol board and health rules. You might find it easier in the El Segundo city limits. z

How bout you go to a beauty supply. They have all types of Extensions and different colors that you can choose from. It doesnt really cost that much.

funnest --- probably disneyland, knotts, universal studios.. you're still in the 100 mile range San diego The zoo and Sea World. None of those places are inexpensive, So if its cheap you want.. hollywood or get yourself some sunblock and hit the beaches. Your only expense will be the parking. Melrose ave. for funky clothes or any mall for anything else.
