Los Angeles

Thought I would share some thoughts about LA. I love LA, which surprises even me. For years I had a tainted view of the infamous West Coast capital, but after repeated visits, I am a fan, a BIG fan. Realistically, I might see this insanely vibrant city different if I was a resident, but as a visitor, it's become one of my favorite places. A dear friend of mine from college, "Miller", is a successful actor and business woman in LA and has graciously opened her various homes to me over the years. After a recent 5 day stay in September, I simply cannot get enough of this city.
Some of my personal favorites, the Korean Olympic Spa where the full treatment in their spa, was one of the best things I have ever done for my body. And for $100, a bargain. Resale shopping in Topanga Canyon was funky and eccentric. And I loved the cemeteries. Larger than life legends, buried in grandeur and sometimes in poverty. Fascinating slice of film history in cemeteries.
What I HATE about LA, Malibu. Seriously, what a joke. The traffic, the paparazzi, the neglected and abandoned store fronts on the way into Malibu and the sheer overcrowded beachfront was shocking. The beach if you could get to it was nice, but this has got to be the most overrated place on the planet. Also, Robertson Blvd, home to Kitson's and the restaurant the Ivy. Again, just a laugh it's so ridiculously puffed up.
I might post some pics soon, gotta get the ok from some people in them.
