Planet Lambretta

Museum

👍👍 I bought a 59 series 1 scooter from Harmik at planet Lambretta. It was a complete nut and bolt restoration. You will not find a person that is as passionate as Harmik is, in regards to the Lambrettas. The price was fair and the turn around time was good. I would recommend Harmik to anyone who is in...

Galileo Observatory

Museum

👍👍 The observatory is magnificent. You have to visit it, it’s very good. And also ideally placed to see the city of Los Angeles and also the Hollywood sign.

Anyhow, it was the most wonderful house my mom ever lived in, and s...
