I've been through LA once, but didn't really get to see much, It was a family trip to Lake Tahoo and we went down to Disney Land for a day... all I really remember was the most crowded interstates I've ever seen

I lived there for 6 years. It has its ups and downs, I love that warm weather, but the traffic is bad. You need a car to live. Its also not that far from a lot of cool places to go. My view is kind of biased though, because its like my childhood home.

I was born in Huntington Beach. From what i remember it's crowded, got heavy traffic at all times of the day/night, and has nice beaches (up by malibu).
Nice place to visit. Xanatos is right -- access to a car is essential. The new metrorail system is nice but it doesn't go to many useful places.

ya i've been there. i was born in Sacramento on an air force base.
i think a theory of LA is that it's nice to visit but the Å¡its to dwell

i live in a suburb about 20-30 minutes away from l.a. traffic is bad during peak hours, but there are a lot of great places for things like photography and art. it matters where you go really. there are clubs scattered all over the place, tons of small venues to see bands, as well as large venues.
so ya, it's pretty nifty here as long as you know where to go

ummmmm......well lets see. i fly into/out of there every week. LAX is a nightmare, and LA as a whole is not a place i like to spend any time. HOWEVER, there are lots of fun things to do IF you have a car and a plan. The Getty Center is one of the finest museums in the world and it's located in Santa Monica (suburb? of LA) and then they have LOTS of cool shows. i recommend going once, especially if someone you like is playing.....like RICHARD was...eheheh. but it's a huge city.....and i don't find it very beautiful like Chicago or NYC. =0)

I'm from the East coast and never have been to the West Coast. After I graduate from college I want to do film and am sick of NYC, so I'm thinking it's time for some West Coast. LA is my destination... maybe I'll visit it before I try to live there. All I'm saying is it can't be worse/more boring/ less job opportunities than Baltimore, MD.
