Los Angeles

First off, don't write about LA if you've visited for 3 days on a vacation. You don't know Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is one of the biggest cities/counties in the US (2nd largest population and all that). We have more ethnicities in one square mile of LA than there are in the entire Midwest.

Gangs? Yeah, if you go to the CPT or LBC. Not everywhere.
Hot guys & girls? Of course. We've got beaches, and we go to them. A lot. Be happy that many of us care about our appearance.
Movie stars? Yes. Jim Carrey was filming a movie down the street from me not long ago. Most movies and tv shows you watch are filmed here. In the past year, there were probably a dozen or so shot within 10 minutes of my house (Pirates of the Caribbean, the OC, Fun with Dick and Jane, etc.)
Fake people? Where are you NOT going to have them? LA people are stereotypically superficial, and its true for some and completely false for others. It just depends.
Gays, Lesbians, etc? Yep.

So traffic can be a bitch. The 405, the 110, the 710. It's frustrating, but… whatever.

There are no seasons. Always between 60 and 80. Any higher, freak heat wave. Any lower, it must be raining, which happens maybe 5 times a year.

BEACHES. They’re beautiful. If you’re lucky enough to visit LA, spend a day at a beach. Hermosa, Redondo, Torrance, RAT, wherever.

Various other good features: nice shopping, nice houses, nice suburbs, UCLA and USC, In N’ Out.

And bad things: smog, litter, high-ish crime rate, too many illegal aliens, run-down areas, streets that need repair.

Yeah, I live in Los Angeles. Palos Verdes.

Kid from Nebraska: OH MY GOSH YOU'RE FROM LA?!?!?! YOU'RE LIKE, GOD OR SOMETHING!!
