I started living in Downtown LA because I bought into the hype that things were on the up and up and that the city was making vast improvements in this hip area.
That's all bullshit- I live in Tijuana, Mexico.
Unless Revolution Avenue is what everyone meant when they were talking about hip new loft apartments I think this hype about downtown LA must be stopped.
I no longer have to read the crime section of the LA Times to feel a part of what is going on in the LA underworld. I look outside.
Yesterday I saw a man steal someone's car radio. The day before, in the house across the street, I saw a man holding an assault rifle. He didn't look like a cop.
I'm the only light skinned person in my area and I don't belong there.
So why did I move in? During the day it isn't bad. It's actually kind of peaceful. Also I pay $825 for a one-bedroom apartment. Can't beat that in LA- however ridiculous it might sound to someone from the Midwest.
So I'm changing this blog. I'm fed up with crime and death and accidental incidents reminding us of our short time on this earth. No, this year I'm going to write about other stuff. I don't know what it will be about. I won't rewrite what I post here. I'm just going to type stuff occasionally and maybe someone somewhere will care. Or not, whatever.
