I've always loved El Segundo for some reason. Most people I tell this to don't understand why but it's just a very charming town to me. Even the old industrial areas west of Sepulveda and north of the refinery have a very cool feel. I love walking around that area and I've noticed over the last 2-3 years that a number of those smaller warehouse/industrial properties are being converted into office space for tech/ad/vfx companies.
The refinery usually offers a tour once a year for the public which is very informative and there is a great park at the top of a small hill off of Imperial Ave that affords what is probably the best view of LAX.
Sadly El Segundo's aerospace industry is slowly but surely shrinking. Plaza El Segundo, where that huge Whole Foods is, used to be a Honeywell fab if memory serves correctly.
