"LA Calling: Cruising, Kicks, and City Charm on a Sunny Sunday"

Welcome, listeners, to “Things to Do in Los Angeles”—Oly Bennet here, your globe-trotting, laugh-a-minute guide to the city’s most unforgettable adventures! It’s Sunday, September 7, 2025, and LA is serving up its signature sunshine with just a hint of late-summer breeze. If you step outside, you’ll feel the city practically humming: classic convertibles cruising the streets, palms swaying, and, let’s be real, more Lakers hats than actual lakers.First, quick snapshot of today’s vibe. There’s a contagious excitement in the air, not just because the Dodgers might clinch a wild card—but because today, LA is bursting with wild events, quirky treasures, and weirdly positive gridlock energy (hey, roll the windows down and call it a slow tour).Let’s hit the highlights! Car enthusiasts, this one’s for you—Bimmer INVASION brings its cinematic BMW rally to SoCal today, turning vintage and tricked-out beamers into the stars of their own road movie, plus goodie bags and a secret-party finish line. It’s part city tour, part high-octane hangout, all thoroughly documented for your next family brag session. According to Bimmer Invasion, this event is ultra-exclusive, but the city’s sure to spot plenty of head-turning rides gliding by.Up next, sneakerheads, zip down the 5 to Anaheim for the final day of Sneaker Con—aka, the “Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth” and, no joke, a crossover with Godzilla. Shop, trade, flex, or just ogle rare kicks at the Anaheim Convention Center until 7 p.m. You might never see this much heat in one spot again, unless someone drops their chili dog in the convention hall.How about live music and a day party? House music lovers can dance under downtown’s skyline at Day Trip in the Park with legendary DJ Dennis Ferrer and rising stars Obskür and Kellie Allen lighting up the Los Angeles State Historic Park from 2 p.m., all strictly 21 and up. According to Day Trip LA, you’ll find plenty of bass, sunshine, and—if you time your arrival perfectly—at least one inflatable flamingo.Looking for something family-friendly? The Autry Museum of the American West has free admission most of the day for a blast of cowboy history and wild west pop culture. And if you’re after artistic inspiration, the Craft Contemporary and Skirball Cultural Center are running special exhibitions and drop-in workshops for all ages.On the news front, foodies can rejoice! The latest rumor: the much-buzzed Sobre Masa LA taqueria soft-opened in Koreatown this week, with masa so fresh it should come with a permission slip. Plus, early birds on public transit get to test Metro’s new Tap2Go app pilot, promising easier fare payments—so tap in and ride easy on your adventure circuit.For today’s must-do’s: stroll the Sunset Strip for people-watching and maybe spot a celebrity or two (actual sightings not guaranteed, but your cousin’s hairdresser will claim otherwise). Duck into Grand Park for food trucks and impromptu community performances, or head to Venice Beach to witness street vendors, drum circles, and skateboarding feats that defy physics and, occasionally, common sense.Local tip: Don’t just hit the main sights—check out the mosaic tile benches near Echo Park Lake. Not only are they handmade by local artists, they’re perfect for a breezy selfie spot that screams “I found the real LA” without the wait for a tourist bus.Before I speed off in my imaginary rally car, tomorrow’s calendar already looks wild: watch out for the Gloria Molina Grand Park block party, and an outdoor movie screening that’ll unite music lovers, foodies, and picnic blanket enthusiasts from every corner of the city.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
