In-town getaways for every personality type

Print issue No. 20
There's nothing quite like a summer vacation. Unfortunately, with gas prices through the roof and air travel a big mess, it can be a major ordeal just getting out of town in the first place. That's why we say: Take your vacay in L.A. Whether you're a tree-hugger or a shopaholic, a beach baby or an urban explorer, a glamour girl or a stay-at-home-and-veg gamer, we've got the perfect in-town escape for you. Check it out in this week's issue of Metromix, available for free in print (check those newspaper boxes!) and right here on metromix.com.

Also this week, we chat with B-Real, get some advice from Patton Oswalt, tip our hat to fedoras, snack on some Kansas City-style barbecue in NoHo and put on our beer goggles.
