I don't know how to make someone fond of LA (I'm sure not) but these are some cool things that are there!

Driving up Mulholland to one of the couple of spots that overlook the LA basin is actually pretty cool (especially at duskish/night), and if you're into Batman or B-movies at all you can drive up Bronson Dr to the caves that were used as the opening to the Batcave in the 1960s version (and hundreds of B-movie were filmed there/still are, also episodes of Star Trek). Not super exciting but still kind of fun to check out. Depends on if you have a car available though. There's also Griffith Park which is kind of a nice area, and there's an abandoned zoo there that you can walk around in the exhibits/enclosures.

Oooh-thank you! I will have a car, and will definitely put these on my List, particularly the abandoned zoo. That calls for pics, I think :-)

No problem! I had to learn to like LA myself when I lived there so I hope you find some of these things worth seeing :)

The zoo is a little complicated to find but there are people who've written up directions on the internet and those are pretty easy to follow.
