| This nice family is absolutely LOVING the city of Compton! |
So, here is a brief vacation guide for you to consider:
PLACES TO STAY:
Ramada Inn- A customer on Tripadvisor.com left this raving review copied word-for-word: 地理位置方便，床非常舒适。另外. How can you go wrong with that place, huh? Did you see what they said? Nothing but good things!
Crystal Park Inn and Casino- I have taken the liberty to feature just some of the headlines to the reviews from Tripadvisor.com to help you make your decision to come to Compton easier: "Good Bingo night out!", "Nasty", "Do not stay here.", "Dirty, dirty, dirty.", "Hate it.", "Crystal Park, worst hotel ever." Wow, they really like it there!
Celebrity Helicopter Day Tours: There were only two reviews for this attraction in Compton that uses a helicopter that flies you over The Olympic Stadium, Hollywood Bowl, Dodgers Stadium, Staples Centre and nods toward the homes of the stars. Here is one of the raving reviews of this hot spot: "Ich hatte über DER-Tour einen Flug am 21.4.11 gebucht. Statt der vereinbarten Abholung um 10 Uhr kamen Sie um 12:15 und dazwischen erfolgte eine Lüge nach der anderen (das Wetter, der Stau, usw). Wir waren dann genervt und mit dem..." Amazing review, right?? I'm pretty sure they loved it!
Historical Landmarks: Heritage House, Angeles Abbey Cemetery, Eagle Tree, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Woodlawn Cemetery
Celebrity Home Tour: Now, I don't know if there IS such a thing, but, I bet if you ask around, you can probably find someone that knows where these famous west coast rappers lived at one time. If there isn't anyone who is willing to help, do some research yourself and start a side business or something. These famous rappers are from Compton:
 |
| Dr. Dre |
 |
| Eazy-E |
 |
| Ice Cube...is not from Compton. He's from South Central LA. Everyone knows that, silly! |
PLACES TO EAT:
 |
| Pretty sure the most famous place to eat is Bludso's BBQ. |
 |
| Also, Dale's Donuts. |
So, cancel your trips to Disney World, Time Square, Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon and get your little behinds to Compton before their hotels book up.

With a review like that, how could we go wrong? :)
I visited California a few years ago and couldn't get over how perfect the climate was - I totally bathed in the heat! I think it's time for another trip - love that family pic lol!!
Oh my. I think I need to hit the resturants just from the international comments alone. :)
You know I'm Southern California born and raised... And I have actually physically been to Compton (okay, so I just stopped in a McDonald's to use the bathroom, but still. I was in Compton). It's a lovely place, if you're into wondering if you're going to make it out alive. :)
You are so damn funny!
I hope you have a Happy New Year!
What an awesome review! I can't wait to visit!
That was hilarious! You need to check out Boring, OR for your next tourism spotlight. Lovely little town near where I grew up :)
I am a recent joiner of Kelly's Break Room and I do hope trip reviews are somewhat regular. Cuz this place sounds so freakin awesome! I love BBQ and Donuts. and your family photo looks so delightful.
Ahhh Compton gets a bad RAP but it isn't all bad. Love that Dales donuts but never got one THAT big!. Happy New Year!!! W.C.C.
OMG you're hilarious! I just spit out my water!!! I think Israel Carrasco lived in Compton before or met one of his toothless dates there. Can't be sure... :)
LoL! Can't wait to see more lovely vacation spots.
Happy New Year Kelley.
KKell, your creativity NEVER ceases to amaze me! Who would think of going to such an out of the way, tourist-free vacation spot?! And if you stay with a local family, you could give them a nice gift-wrapped snake as a token of your appreciation. You really should run a travel service. All the best to you and your family for a truly wonderful 2012!
Bludso's DOES sound delicious, doesn't it?
I mean they must have really thought long and hard about a name that would appeal to our taste buds when they landed on Bludso's.
I'm drooling already.
Kind of.
Compton is second on my list, right after Detroit, where I hope to tip a couple with Eminem.
He thinks I'm awesome.
:-)
Happy New Year!

I want to see your review of Española, New Mexico, the self-proclaimed low rider capital of the world.
You are the travel guide to beat!! Happy New Year Kelley!
Ha ha! Yes you need to publish a book about these hidden gems! :)
Sounds absolutely lovely. Though I'll probably have to wait until I have a life insurance policy and a flak jacket before I decide to book a vacation there.
I'm totally booking that Ramada. From what I got from the review, I think it may have read "No bed bugs". And that makes it a 5 star in my book! Oh, and if I see Eazy E, I'll get you an autograph.
-Your Family photo is Great)) xx
Oh! Now I want doughnuts!
I LOVE IT! This is where you know you aren't at the "same ol same ol" boring travel agency trying to get you to take a cruise. FYI I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award because you are all over the place. That could be your travel agency tag line "All Over The Place".
you know i have lived in l.a forever and i've only been to compton once, honestly it wasn't so bad like people say it is.
I have a little trouble with this, people have to live there, I imagine they have no choice. I grew up in a decaying English town, with all the industry closing down, it made 35 in the Crap Towns book the other year. I had no choice as to whether or not I lived there, it was where I grew up, if anything it is even more run down now thirty years later. I've been to California but not Compton, as most people who travel to England never go to Widnes.
Yeah, Compton is a place...I've been.
I just passed a place in Maine called Friendship except all the residents look like they eat human legs.
