Is LA a fun place?

Since when does television give an accurate depiction of anything?

I visited LA once. I loved Glendale. I hated Beverly Hills. It
is basically a like a really wealthy ghost town. Million dollar mansions and not a sign of life, not a soul outside. Depressing as hell. Even with the many Armos living in Glendale. I wouldn't live there. Between the smog and the traffic and the materialistic way of life that southern Californians have perfected it would be a pretty miserable life. In choosing an urban environment, cities like Chicago or Boston would be tons better.

That's what everyone says until they lived here. The weather is simply lush and perfect compared to the windy and snowy dampness of Chicago and Boston. Hence why this is the golden state.

1. rent a car for sure. Without a car, you ain't gettin anywhere in LA.
2. Check out 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica one day. Walk over to the peer and check out the beach there.
3. Old Town Pasadena near Cal Tech one night
4. Kodak Theater and the walk of fame (with all the stars) which is at the crossing of Hollywood blvd. and Highland ... definitely check this out
5. After #4, you can drive on Sunset blvd. going west until you get to Beverly Hills ... there are a lot of night clubs and stuff there.
6. After #5, you can swing over to Westwood and UCLA ... there is some stuff there but not much.
7. Universal City Walk and Universal Studios are another great option.

If you need more, I can list more so it depends on how much you are going to stay.

Melrose and Venice beach Try Six Flags too (outside of LA, but worth it!!).

I used to live in Little Armenia. Oh how I miss it. By the way, Six Flags is simply superlative.

Thanks everyone, i am going to print this page out and use it a gude. Its amazing how people dont know about the subway.lol. There is a big Six Flags on Coney Island in New York but I never go there, so i dont think I will go to the LA one.

>CK thanks for the subway map! In NY one time entrance to the subway will cost you $2
Looks like i am going to see the little Armenia , Glendale, lets see what else hmm, the Hollywood blvd, Beverly Hills and some more. Thank you guys its really helpful.

Ya, I've realized I would never be a good tour guide, I haven't been to a quarter of the places people from out of LA want to see.

IF you're into art go to the Ghetty, amazing stuff there.

PS. May I ask you where would you go in New York City?

Well, most of the fun places are in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. I would go see a Broadway show. I would go to 42 street at night, to Soho to see all sorts of Picture galleries (mostly modern art), Central Park. Check out The Statue of Liberty, which is in New Jersey, but there is a boat taking people there. There are nice beaches in Long Island so you can go there, but chances are that you will have to take an umbrella because the weather may change in 20 minutes. Brooklyn is a good night life place, you can allways find o cool night club there. Unfortunately I never remember names, so I cant reffer to anything.
Note: you will be charged $1.50 a word for further references.

Sip's right promenade's great. There's so much talent displayed.

The other day someone was playing a violin with an empty 2 liter coke bottle. Imagine that! I couldn't even play half as good with an actual reed.
Though I think he had a recording hidden somewhere....

Or

You can take a helicopter tour and see the great landmarks of LA such as Hugh Hefner’s mansion! Truly amazing...
