Summer isn't over yet even though Fall officially starts on September 22nd. It's still hot and there are still plenty of cool events - below you'll find a few we think are particularly interesting things to do this week in L.A...

NEWS YOU CAN USE: The space shuttle Endeavor is slated for retirement and display at the California Science Center in Expo Park starting on October 30th. However, this Friday morning (9/21) the shuttle will make an appearance flying low over Los Angeles on the back of its 747 transport around 11am-noon (an hour later than expected due to fog in San Francisco). 

If you're unsure about seeing it from your hood and don't want to miss an opportunity to take a quick glimpse at history then head on down to a few major landmarks and join others to watch Endeavor fly on by.

• Santa Monica Pier
• Los Angeles City Hall
• California Science Center
• Getty Center
• Hollywood Sign
• Universal Studios 
• Griffith Observatory 
• Disneyland

Find out more via LAObserved.com. The shuttle is on its way to LA and will reside in a hanger at LAX until it is transported via city streets over 2 days starting October 12th. Little Tokyo, a fun place to explore anytime, has a large model of the Challenger space shuttle. You will see that and more if your take the self-guided walking tour there. 

Cultural & Food Festivals are as abundant as fall harvests - fun, food, dancing and entertainment. Find out what festivals are coming up on our Festival calendar.

BARGAINS: the Eye Spy LA Discounts page is full of great deals for interesting entertainment and activities. These discounts are offered directly from the event and activity producers and so do not have the extra ticketing fees that other discount ticketing services may charge you.

STOVALL'S SPACE AGE INN OF TOMORROW, ANAHEIM, 1972

by Charles Phoenix

How much are we all loving those astro piñatas orbiting alongside that inner galactic galaxy of hanging lamps? They mix and mingle so well with that big blue futuristic video game, early automotive kit craft wall art and pea green armadillo sniffing the beautiful blue green shag carpet. Those blue and green hoops and bubbles glued on the bannister and front desk don't disappoint either.

Summer is officially over and Halloween is right around the corner. We'll have a tremendous amount of energy due to the upcoming cooler temperatures. The start of October may see tempers flaring. Take whatever comes in stride. Most signs will be extremely busy and productive. This is an excellent time to push final projects up and out. There's an ideal window of opportunity for gains and lucky breaks until November, so maximize this Saturn and Uranus square. Then we can all relax just in time for the holidays. Stay the course and keep striving.
