Try San Francisco! Two sets of parallel runways which cross at 90 degree about halfway along each (a right angled #).. The runways have just enough room between each pair to hold a 737. When the weather is good you get parallel landings coming up the Bay over the San Mateo bridge onto 27R/L and as the landing planes cross the intersection you can get two aircraft starting on 1R/L turning away from each other as they rotate. Problem is 1R/L aren't long enough for the heavily loaded aircraft so they have to be inserted onto 27R/L. When it gets a bit windy you'll find staggered landings onto 27R/L and as a plane lands on 27R you'll see one depart 27L (and vice versa).

There's a park called Coyote Point just down the 101 Freeway where you can watch the whole thing.
