I’m really only half joking. I’ve lived in the area my whole life. LA’s a wreck... Watch your back and GL.
I lived in Westchester by LAX when I was a tyke in ‘52-’54; worked in the greater LA area quite a bit in the early 70s (power plant work); took the kids to Universal Studios around 1990 and 1993; went to a Rose Bowl game Jan 2015.
So I seem to schedule visits every 20 years or so. I hope it isn’t a complete disaster.
My Mom couldn’t stand it in the early / mid 50s so we moved back to upstate NY! She was about 25 at the time. The small town Idaho girl didn’t much care for LA, even then.
