[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not that it's hyped a ton, but other than the weather I really don't like L.A.  Found it really depressing.[/quote]

Totes.

I found Los Angels depressing AF.[/quote]

I went to LA years ago as a really young broke 20 something found it incredibly depressing, everyone was broke and everything was brown.

Went back a few years later, became friends with a music producer who showed me around, we took a drive down inspiration avenue he called it,  a beautiful street, with gorgeous homes, lined on both sides by large cypress trees and palms, we ended up at his home in Pacific Palisades.

I remember driving over a ridge, not expecting what was on the other side, everything was in vivid, greens and blues, it was amazing.  On one side brown skies, brown grass, grey everything and then 20 mins later I was surrounded by really wealthy and beautiful people and everything was green.

And I got it. A lot of people in LA are chasing that... which does make it depressing.

LA is where you go to grind it out, to make the sauce, it is a means to and end, it is full of people who took a drive down inspiration avenue and got sucked in, but never made it, and faded.    [/quote]
