Life plan for right now:
Step 1- Get rich
Step 2- Live on Third Street Promenade
Step 3- Die happy
As I walked around the famous Hollywood and Highland intersection today, I couldn't help but imagine what tourists from New York must think. Not only does NYC contrast greatly with LA with respect to culture, but size-wise, LA's Hollywood/Highland must really be a surprise as compared to Times Square. And yet somehow the media does a really great job with making LA appear to be a sprawling city of glamour. Spoiler alert: It's not. When traveling through most parts of LA, it'd be more than smart to double check your locked doors.
However, the shining light for me in the disappointment that is Los Angeles, is Santa Monica. Santa Monica is a magical little place near the water that promises you both the sandy beaches and an almost city life. I just can't get enough of the cuteness that is Third Street Promenade. There's actually good street musicians, water bottle refilling fountains, modern age parking structures, and, of course, shopping. It really is the perfect life.
Now if only it can stay LA's beautiful, hidden sister city forever.
