lapetitechou's Profile

Although Atlanta is now my home, I'm a California native and lived in LA for 5 years. I love the individual characteristics of the various neighborhoods...from Los Feliz and Silver Lake to Westwood and Santa Monica...you still have the steady energy (excitement, disdain, success, failure) of LA but it shifts from one area to another.

Some of my favorite places I spent my time were:

- The Getty Center (love the gardens)
- Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood (the best place to see a movie anywhere!)
- Santa Monica Farmer's Market at the Pier
- The numerous hole-in-the-wall restaurants, diners and stands that you can only recall when you pass by them that offer the authentic, cheap and delicious fares of Thai, Japanese, and Mexican cuisine - in my opinion the most reliable and comforting history of LA, and maybe California in general.

I love this idea! I think it's better to not take things at Urban so seriously. I mean, I understand how "manufactured" it can feel in there, but come on, it's Urban! Have some fun, reminisce, be cheeky...
