Interpreting the Parking Lot

I will get to getting down in L.A. soon, but first I want to share some generalizations offered from Noah Hawley – “Los Angeles has two sides: East and West. The West side runs from the Pacific Ocean to La Brea Boulevard. It includes neighborhoods such as Santa Monica, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills. The East Side stretches from La Brea to Downtown. It’s made up of Hollywood, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake. The two sides couldn’t be more different. The West Side skews older and smells like money. The East Side is younger and smells of unwashed jeans. People from the East Side won’t date people from the West Side. (Who wants to make the drive?)” – and that, in it’s entirety makes up the geographical basics of Hollywood. Be warned, you will discover that a trip to the grocery store is not an easy task. Driving time and parking will determine what you do. L.A. is a car culture, with the traffic jams and road rage to prove it.
