via Franklin Avenue... here's a fun tourney-style competition about the best things in los angeles. as i said in his comments, the most interesting one to me is vin scully vs. central library. vin scully is gonna destroy the library (baseball vs. reading?!?! NO way). i totally appreciate vin scully's contributions to the dodgers and baseball, i LOVE that he's an institution here in LA, and i think he's probably a GREAT guy (how great a Grandpa would he be?!?!). that being said, he often drives me nuts during games. there. i said it. phew! what a relief! he NEVER stops talking. EVER. he's always citing some stat or some story related to the current play. they're usually at least somewhat interesting... but i wouldn't mind a little shush-shush time. not a ton... just a few seconds here and there during a game so i can hear the fans, the vendors, etc. it feels like he's talking AT me. disclaimer: perhaps i'm just partial to harry kalas 'cause i'm a phillies phan. i could listen to him ALL DAY LONG!

btw, my vote in that category isn't so much a vote against vin scully (despite what the previous paragraph makes it seem like). i really do think the Central Library is awesome and i'm bummed i don't get there more often. check it out sometime if you've never been there before.
