California has got to be one of my least favorite states. Place seems like a fuckin' circus.

LA in 2029 is screwed.

LA seemed eerily quiet to me, mostly I guess because it is so spread out, and everyone has 8 cars, that the few places you see people 'walking', it isnt that crowded or loud. The only place that is ever busy is the freeway, always. It isnt that much of a circus either.. it's just kind of pastel, to me.

brilliant synopsis, it is also why judgment day is inevitable


(of course in regards to the circus comment, you may not have got out enough, LA is crazy!)

We went out a fair bit actually.. having said that, there wasn't much I hadn't seen before, if anything.. Maybe apart from that one guy on rollerblades down at venice, it's all the same though. There is a lot of wanton stupidity and money spending.. but eh. Vegas is more of a freak show to me.

I've seen more crazee here in austin though than I ever did in LA. It seems more expressionistic though than gluttonous. I regularly see a guy on our forest walk track who "mountain unicycles".. etc.

did you make it 85th and Normandie, what about Avalon and Imperial?;)

I dont know? I still had no clue of street names even after 3 months haha. Space will know. I google mapped and the closest thing I remember to there is king taco.. haha But I have no idea.

if you were at those neighborhoods you'd know it ;)

If you know what you're looking it won't be quiet. Then again you were fairly new to the area.

if you know what yr looking it won't be quiet.

lolforeigners. them don't know what are looking.

Yes, you need to see the beach. I recommend going to Hermosa where you can see the sands, and then go a bit south along PCH till it merges with Palos Verde Drive and go to Rolling Hills/Palos Verdes to see what real California beaches area bout, mesmerizing cliff-side beaches with winding coves and tucked away small canyons..

In regards to parks, say ravine like, obviously you can explore Griffith's Park, which is in fact one of the largest urban parks in the country and world, it has a divine splice of the San Gabriel Mountains and foothills open to hiking and kicking it, and a crazy diversity of ecosystems, from Chaparel shrubs, grass land prairies, mountain peaks, a spurce and aspen forest, a desert like stretch, and of course nice streams and a river. If you want something a bit less mainstream, to can hike around various points in the San Gabriels, which are easily accessable adjacent to the 210 freeway and Mountain Ave, I use a Thomas guide but I think mapquest can find it also, you just look for places on the map where you find dirt/fire road access from the small neighborhoods at the base of the mountains there along the freeway and you can hike up all them. People go mountain biking, camping, and riding horses on these roads, and they go all the way up to Palmdale and Lancaster if you take em far enough, the view of the cities are remarkable from up top the San Gabriels, LA is a surprisingly green city, we have over 10,000,000 trees and counting, one of the largest in the country, and from the mountains this is obvious, the city almost looks like a forest!

green compared to what? other cities? I guess I've been lucky enough to find it one of the least green I've been to. London tops it, but eh. Shrubberies!

^^ is ink.

have you climbed from a high vantage point and actually looked? Even the 710N/110 freeway interchange is high enough to catch this revealing view.. studies have confirmed it, LA has over 10,000,000 trees, making it one of the largest urban "forests" in America, we like to plant trees since the 1920s, it shows off our frighteningly conspicuous consumption of water.
