I didn't run into too many weird people other than on the freeway LOL... And I stayed in Panorama City...I have a good friend that lives there.
I have never been to panorama city. My daughter plays volleyball down south, so we travel there like two times a month or so. Is it by the beach or more inland? oh, gotta ask this... did you take the star tour in hollywood? haha, i took my kids on it. bought the map, drove all over beverly hills, brentwood, and the hollywood hills. It really was a blast.
It's more in land, but Santa Monica and Venice Beach wasn't too far away...maybe thirty or forty-five minutes or so... I didn't take the star tour! LOL there was no way I was going to drag my friend that lives there around to see it...I didn't even go to the walk of fame or anything like that...I don't care to do touristy stuff too much...unless I'm alone and can splurge on that sort of thing without feeling like a total geek!
ya the star tour is somewhat geeky, but when you have two teenage girls... well ya gotta do what ya gotta do. did you go the pier in Santa Monica?? I LOVE that place. its so much fun. and did you go to Venice??? I want to go there so bad, but I never have...(asking myself why at this time.)
We drove past the pier in Santa Monica, but didn't go there. We went to Venice though a couple of times. It was really bohemian...just like I though it would be...but we couldn't go swimming when we were there because of the sewage, which was kinda gross...I had a good time though
Yeah that's one of the things that sorta turned me off... I have some cool grafitti art I took pics of from Venice Beach in the Hip Photos section under Member Photos...I like 'em you should check em out!
Those are pretty cool pictures. It definately an art to be appreciated. (ok, that kind not the typical monikers). We had two clients last year who got busted for graffiti, they did some really good work. They were thinking of going to Venice so they could do it down there. They got screwed with restitution......over 30k, we got it reduced down to about 10k.
why do people still get harrassed for mohawks n dreads? 40 year old hairstyles n shit.people with beehives could sneak in bombs in there hair. if u stashed anything in a dread youd havta chop thru hair to retrieve it. n mohawks cant conceal shit.i get harrased if i get a deep tan too. i guess i look arabic or persian.that or europeans are a bit blind. thats me below, do i look scary to you?
IT happens, comes with the territory... As far as the graffiti goes...I thought graffiti was generally really annoying, but the stuff that I saw and what people are doing, is really something to be admired...
