Sunday night Swanking at LAX

There's nothing wrong with Howard Hughes center - but it's just another mainstream mall (but it does have mini golf). When there are other possibilities that have actual swank potential, then I'm more excited about the prospect of adventure.

Keep in mind that the Custom is owned by the same group that own The Angeleno, the Mondrian, the Standard, Shutters, the Roosevelt, and the Farmers Daughter - sites of several swank encounters.

I drove by the Custom today to scope out parking in the area. Something on the website caught my attention (namely, $22 parking!!!), so I did a drive-by to investigate.

It doesn't look like there's any free parking lot for the hotel (but rates weren't posted streetside). There's plenty of free parking, though, at a recreational park on Lincoln, 1 block south (at La Tierja), on the other side of the street (the east side).

There's also closer parking in the little neighborhood just north of Manchester, just to the east of Lincoln. This is about half a block from the Custom.
