When moving to a new city it's always nice to have a little checklist of spots that are tried and true. At the end we will compile our own list, and feel that we have done some justice to this beautiful sprawling city/county that we call home. We have highlighted the things we've already done, and we will occasionally be posting about some of the favorites.<br /><br /><ol><div><div class="im"><li><span style="border-collapse: collapse;">Rose Bowl Flea Market</span><br /></li><li><span style="border-collapse: collapse;">HMS Bounty</span><br /></li><li><span style="border-collapse: collapse;">Lucy’s El Adobe</span><br /></li><li><span style="border-collapse: collapse;
