Rodeo Drive


One road trip deserves another, so I made my way to Rodeo Drive on Tuesday afternoon to experience being "down and out in Beverly Hills." Just like the iconic Tinseltown sign, finding my way there was easier said than done ... but I managed not to hit anything or kill anyone with my rental car.

After securing a parking spot, I walked along the high-end shopping strip that conjured up images of Fifth Avenue in New York. I was surprised by how short it was, stretching only from Wilshire Boulevard to Santa Monica Boulevard. I didn't even bother entering stores like Gucci and Harry Winston, for I knew the price tags attached to their products were beyond my reach.
