The Greatest Thing About Los Angeles Is ...

Amoeba Music? So say the readers of Los Angeles magazine, who during the last few months took 64 stellar things about the City of Angels and whittled them down to one greatest thing in a March Madness-style bracket showdown. That a Bay Area export won provoked a lot of kvetching, according to the mag’s editors, and rightfully so.
I love “the bestickered space” of Amoeba, but is it a better thing about L.A. than the Hollywood Bowl? The beach? Topanga Canyon? Vin Scully? Or how about the weather, which Amoeba beat in the final showdown?
In this case, so much for the wisdom of crowds.

I hear ya Mike. Amoeba better than Vin The Great? Ridiculous.
I can’t believe Pink’s, the world’s most overrated hot dog, made the final four…and beat the Bradbury Building, the beach and Union Station to get there.
There’s only one LA restaurant that deserves to be in the final four, and that’s Langers.

As a San Diegan, Amoeba’s one of the few reasons I put up with LA traffic.

Amoeba music? That’s a hoot. How about Taco trucks? One would have thought people would show some support for taco trucks by voting for them.
