Yano What I Mean?: Back to LA

Back to LA

Where In The World Is Yano?

Los Angeles, CA

Yes, I'm in LA again for work. It's really cool, because Dave lives here now. He's been looking for places to live for us, but it seems that all the nice places he's been finding have asbestos. What the fuck's up with that? Doesn't that stuff cause your babies to have 3 heads or something? Anyone know anywhere good to live in LA?

So I decided to start a new thing, since I've been traveling so much, the 'What's outside the hotel window?' picture. This trip has a pretty good view, since I'm in a pretty swanky hotel in downtown LA.

is it overcast? or it that just a thick cover of smog that I miss so.

How about along Wilshire? Not around Downtown LA, but more towards UCLA/Westwood.

I recommend the Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach area. But then I'm biased.

Man, LA is definitely not what I thought it would be. Maybe I haven't given it a chance yet, but damn.

The asbestos thing is new to me too. When we moved in to our place in SF they told us that the building was built in the 60's so it had asbestos in the cieling. They said it would be fine since we had 30 years of paint covering it as long as we didn't attach anything to the cieling or otherwise disturb it. We had to sign all kinds of forms stating we knew about it and understood. I guess that is what you get when all of the "affordable" construction in CA was built in 1960 or before :)
