Don't get me wrong there are some pros but truthfully (coming from someone who lives within the LA area) don't get wrapped up in the LA scene... I don't find it to be very "homie". I live in a small town in LA county and I like the visits but eh.. I do however have a dream to live in New York City so perhaps I am contradicting myself, but there I feel at least obtains some substance. Autumn leaves are too beautiful to give up, but the beach is beautiful.

It's not really a city because you can't have more than 3 stories to a building so it's more like someone chopped a city up horizontally and then all the parts of buildings semi-near each other. It's not as glamorous as one would imagine. My aunt live in Manhattan so I've been several times and think it's much more glamorous and exciting than LA. Also it's not awesome weather all the time. 90 degrees in November and a shit ton of smog don't qualify as awesome. Also the public transportation is sketchy in a way that it isn't in other cities. pros, the beach is a really different experience on the west coast because the waters a little warmer and there are no rocks anywhere. And there are definitely autumn leaves. Honestly if you want to live in California, San Francisco has the best of both worlds in terms of nice-ish weather and beach but then it's still actually a city and it's much MUCH prettier and Tyler Oakley is there.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822114354158197632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-86288930261737634962012-11-09T03:21:36.862-04:002012-11-09T03:21:36.862-04:00As an LA person, here's what I have to say: Co...As an LA person, here's what I have to say: Cons, I don't think LA is as awesome a city as most people do.

And I'm not just plugging my city here. It's not incredibly expensive, there are definitely suburbs, the weather, while cold in the winter, is gorgeous every other time of year (and at least it's a beautiful snowy winter rather than a slushy gross NYC one). There are at least 10 swimmable lakes in the Twin Cities area, and lots of trees and parks to write in. There's a LOVELY library system, and transportation isn't too difficult or expensive (we're one of the most bike-friendly cities in the U.S.). There's also a ton of vegetarian/vegan restaurants and just generally a great vibe and community around the city. Plus, you get TWO cities for the price of one. And...it's not too far from Ohio and your family. I do grant you we have terrible sports teams, but who cares?

It suit you, your personality and your ambitions best, I guess (and hope?).<br /><br />Plus, you will have friends to keep you company and help you out in tough situations. <br /><br />And with someone as talented as you, you would be THE competition in LA.<br /><br />The cons for LA are not that severe. You can visit home and the autumn leaves once in a while when you start missing them. But being away from home shouldn't be that much of an issue since you eventually have to grow up and find your own nest.<br /><br />Hope you make whichever choice makes you happy.<br /><br />Best Wishes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-59538698824674838392012-10-02T12:17:02.832-04:002012-10-02T12:17:02.832-04:00Indy.

I've lived in the country my whole life but have always wanted to be in a city and have started to compile a list also. I live pretty close to NYC so I've taken it off my list because it doesn't really satisfy the "different" factor but I tell you from experience not to rule it out. I feel I know New York as both a tourist and an insider and I think can feel really elitist and obnoxious if you visit as a tourist but when I visit New Yorker friends I've gotten what i feel is the "real" New York experience and it's awesome. I'm currently leaning towards Chicago because it's New York-esque without being too familiar (and UChicago is like my dream school.) I've completely ruled out L.A. because I think it's stupid to have to drive everywhere when you're in a city and I honestly get more of an elitist vibe in LA than NYC.

Ok, so, I honestly can'...Ahh! This IS exciting!<br /><br />Ok, so, I honestly can't help suggesting Montreal. I know it sounds scary cause it's a whole 'nother country, but honestly, it's essentially like a smaller, safer New York City. It's immensely multi-cultural, constantly busy, and an absolute blast to live in. Like, there is always something happening here. Plus, we've totally been voted number 1 party city in North America several times ;) <br />We're within driving distance to New York City, too. So not totally in the middle of nowhere. <br />It has that city vibe, but it's small enough that you can really get comfortable.<br /><br />I realize everything I'm saying will be negated by the fact that french is a dominant language. Everyone speaks English...but everyone speaks French too. <br /><br />Anyway I just really wanted to brag about my city. I think you should at least come to visit with some friends some time. People actually adore it here, I swear. :') <br /><br /><br />And in terms of you options....I see you as a New York City girl! That's where I hope to be at some point in the near future! <br />I can really picture you fitting in. California is very...glamorous. It just is. It's high maintenance to live there, I find. New York seems more relaxed, just because there is such a diversity of people. <br /><br />i dunno i dunno. you'll do great wherever you go. <br /><br /><br />im sorry for the length of this message. <br /><br />alex Alex Dahlberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661153817754923128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-78714206196221187362012-09-23T16:24:01.511-04:002012-09-23T16:24:01.511-04:00Chicago has a gorg beach.
