If you’re coming through Fox Hills or Ladera Heights, you probably either live in the neighborhood or you’re making your way out to LAX. For those of you with golf clubs and a day off, or a long flight delay, come out to the putting green at the Westchester Golf Course. Or if you need new sneakers, the selection at Westfield Fox Hills Mall is more than enough to keep you busy for a while.
