A Separate Uncle Junior Thread--now known as where do you wanna live thread

[Icelord]

walnut sucks.

way too asian, and thats coming from a dude that has lived in irvine.

Rancho would be a better bet than that place.

I've lived in Vancouver, BC. It's 2/3 East Indian, the other third is Korean or Chinese and lives downtown. Never again.

I don't mind hispanic people because if you don't can't deal with them, you won't like Cali. But a city where at least half the police and public servants are white would be nice.

scary placed to drive, that is one very correct stereotype. Miserable drivers.

Sierra Madre is a great town.

Rich and white, you know, like god intended.

Not to mention its off the 210, one of the better freeways, half the traffic of the other freeways generally.

If I had to move to that part of the world, SM would be it. La Cresenta/Montrose would be second. San Marino third.

Pasadena is full of undesirables.

Very happy here. Exceptionally rare little SoCal Mayberry, but with better bars and restaurants. San Marino is stunning, if you got 'fuck you' money. And you're absolutely right about Pas, for the most part, although South
Pas is quite nice.

But you're by the beach, man. Can't beat that.

[Icelord]

Either of you two ever been to Compton or Long Beach?

I went to both just to see if it's as ghetto as it's repped to be in movies/media/etc. Yep. Nothing but. Every house had bars on the windows (although that's true of several parts of LA that aren't as bad). Graffiti all over and cop sirens.

Im not complaining.

I do hate that it takes me 20 minutes to find a parking spot during the weekend. And the drunk idiots walking down balboa make me want to eat my gun but its amazing here. I sleep better.

Been to both. Long Beach has nice parts, belmont shores, a few others... compton is bad news. No where safe in that whole city.

I must admit the Burbank Mall is pretty cool.

If you go to downtown LA, the jewelry district is cool to hang out in. McCarthur Park I actually liked, it's wide open and a good place to relax in the day, no stress.

I'm definitely into LA's energy. Plus consider you leave the somewhat scruffy downtown area and you're basically at the UCLA campus. It's nothing but expensive white houses there. Walk a few miles down Wilshire and hang a right on San Vicente, and you're at the Beverly Center. A great mall.

I like that you can go in one district that's shitty and then end up in a neighborhood with million-dollar properties.

I heard Walnut is pretty clean too. It almost looks like an Austrian hamlet from certain angles.





I have an obsession with Southern California. I love all of it. What's weird is I meet a lot of people from the Northeast (where I live) and the midwest and south who hate it and would never go there.

My cousins grew up in Walnut, when it was mostly undeveloped rolling hills, and a landfill, I think. But vp is right, mostly Asian now.

I lived in LB when I was finishing school. Belmont Shores, which is fine, as vp said. Pretty much just gay homeowners or drunken college renters, overall probably LB's best neighborhood. It's nice by the school as well. West side and northern LB are ghetto shit.

Compton, God no.

But if your looking for Burbank MILFs, you need to be over at the IKEA next to the mall.

Like fish in a barrel.

FUCK THAT PLACE

I went there once a couple years back, most clusterfucked, panic attack inducing shit hole ever.

Never, ever, again.

What makes LA the best city for people with agoraphobia is its wide-open architecture. Even the congested downtown trafficky areas are utopian compared to the nightmarish heat and sweaty buildings youll find in NYC Boston or Baltimore. Fuck dude, those places make you have a panic attack in the summer when theres people walking all over the place and every cab driver tries to run you over. In SoCal its never hot at night, actually gets cold after 9 pm

The geography is night and day. NY has so little room, everything is built vertically and crammed together. The west is wide open, so your personal space is much greater.

But you know this.

Oh, I had a hell of a time in Manhattan with the human gridlock. It seems to create a different personality altogether. Folks from NY are comfy in your face, which was totally foreign to me. I could never live there, and they usually don't do well relocating here either.

Also, in the hottest days of July and August, NYC is hotter than any state with the exception of southern Arizona and Death Valley in CA. It might actually match Phoenix on occasion with the humidity factored in. I went there for one day in 2005 and my shoes were melting on the pavement.


People assume LA and those surrounding cities must be hot all year. They're pleasantly temperate in the winter and even in the summer, the nights are sometimes friggin' cold. Which I like.

i did a little favor for you guys

[Icelord]

Thanks man.

It seems discussing architecture or weather is more interesting than Uncle Junior 24/7.

Summers sound f'n miserable. Leaves you looking forward to winter, which also sucks. Sounds awesome.
