Los Angeles

in a nutshell from a Native. Mid-City is TRUE LA Hancock Park > Beverly Hills Pacific Palisades > Malibu HOLLYWOOD IS NOT A CITY: its a rat infested hell hole with prostitutes everywhere. TOURISTS: DO NOT GO EAST OF VINE Long Beach and Compton (CPT/LBC) are independent Municipalities NOT part of the city. Latte sippers live around 3rd/Fairfax at Park La Brea aka "Hipster Projects" while in LA YOU MUST VISIT DINOS CHICKEN ON PICO/BERENDO In Mid-City Everything West of Century Park West is West LA Everything East of Alameda doesn't matter Dodgers Stadium is SAFE. UCLA > University of South Central *YES, USC IS IN SOUTH CENTRAL ITS SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN. Tommys on Rampart/Beverly. (locals only) north of wilshire 10 million dollar homes, exactly across the street 500,000 dollar townhomes dont go below the "10" if you dont acually need to go there People in Mid-City/Downtown walk mostly everywhere Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs on Wilshire. The Redline is for tourists and valley people THE VALLEY IS NOT THE CITY, ITS A SUBURB. the stereotypes you hate are arrogant transplants. i have more in common with transplant new yorkers than i do with someone from Madison Wisconsin. WE DONT DRINK LATTES, TRANSPLANT MID-WESTERNERS DO. WE DRINK ICED COFFEE.
