Stark should come and hang around downtown LA for 24. See that kind of stuff on the video 10 times over. Venice and Santa Monica beach also included.
Have Irish travelers over here. Mostly winter in SoCal or Florida and come out in the summer. Drive around the US in caravans with their family clans. Do the driveway thing, as mentioned, and use old motor oil and claim it's asphalt sealant. Add half ass roofing, cement repair, etc to their "work". Always seem to get old retired people the most. Also big on shoplifting, auto repair and any other way to make a hit and run buck.
Known a couple of people from County Cork, who where pretty cool. Believe that's in southern Ireland. Read also that Ireland is becoming one of the top wealthy countries in the Euro Union. Been somewhat impressed by the Irish with all the scholars, intellectuals, writer, actors , musicians ,etc. Maybe their the chosen few, but considering the very small nation and population, still impressive.
Might check out the movie Snatch and the role Brad Pitt plays as a fighter and Traveler. Need subtitles but a good movie never the less.
