The Mecca Of Bodybuilding Is Now Homeless Central
« on: October 22, 2020, 09:48:15 PM »
sigh



LA is a total shithole

I am glad I lived in LA part time several years back when it was still nice.  I used to be able to walk to Venice golds (if you know the area, one of the apartment buildings in Marina Del Rey over by the pier/cheesecake factory) 15 minute walk or short bike ride.

great memories

It’s sad and Newsom and Garcetti are to blame with some going to Arnold. Also, from what I’ve heard from extremely reliable sources, Golds Venice is done.

I’m originally born and raised in LA, but a lot of these fuckers moving out are turning other states into shitholes, TX will be doomed too in the future

Has been for many years now, LA is a total shitehole and will only get worse in the future along with New York Chicago etc, Blue states won't be able to attract business and the ones there already are leaving or planning to. Trump might be able to slow the decline, but the left is going destroy democrat held states whether he wins or not.

That actually looked cleaner than usual.

A cleanup detail must have went through recently.

Most bodybuilders from the original GOLD's did not fare well in retirement. ;)

All major cities are starting to look like this.  Even in Texas you have Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin and San Antonio; they ALL have homeless camps near downtown with thousands and thousands of people.

On the East side of downtown Houston there is a "town" of thousands of tents stretching for blocks.  I used to drive through there to go to meetings before Covid got started.  It's disgusting, there is shit everywhere, trash and people so messed up on drugs they just stand there like zombies for hours.

Texas will screwed in a decade as far as the big cities are concerned, but all the country areas will be fine.  And there is still a lot of country left.  Everyone is already starting to move out of the urban areas.

The guy who bought Golds Gym for 100 mill this year said last month that the Mecca remains the Mecca ???
