los angeles area events: There are Things to Do in Downtown Los Angeles - 11/22/09 11:00 PM

I could have mentioned that the Good Food Pie Contest will take place on Saturday at Westfield Topanga in Canoga Park where around 140 pies will be available for tasting. I am sure everyone is interested to hear that our own Vin Scully, the Hall of Fame announcer for … (40 comments)
