Like Matt Mason I'm a big James Dean fan. The first time I visted LA I made it a point to visit the observatory. I've since moved to San Diego so pass by the Observatory quite frequently on my trips up to LA. Haven't made a point of stopping there again though . . . although this post has motivated me to make plans to visit! Thanks for sharing this! Like Matt Mason I’m a big James Dean fan.

Also, I have not kept up with the parking situation, but, for a while, non-hikers had to park remotely and take a very expensive ($8?) bus ride to get there, and for a couple of years at least, there was no parking at the top. His parents named him Griffith Griffith? That's downright abusive! Griffith Observatory is one of my favorite places (James Dean!), but every time I have gone there it’s been utterly mobbed.

I wouldn't carp over a $7 sandwich, because I wouldn't buy one. My last couple times up there have just been bike-bys but if I were going for an extended visit, I'd pack my own grub. And booze.

The last time we attempted to the place was so crowded we turned around and went home. I really missed that place while it was closed for the remake, but it was totally worth it when done. I really like the interactive rooms, though those stellar views of the city from the various walks are a very close secnd. Wow, I can’t believe you found the place so empty.
