LA is in a constant state of change.
demographics, housing, cars, fashion, drugs, music, art
it’s all building on itself, it’s moving and growing and
never stopping
so yes you can try to parachute in here from new york city
and you can see if your predetermined expectations are realized
but then you might make a wrong turn and see the most interesting thing
something that no magazine has ever written about
and then what do you do?
do you dare be original?
do you trust your bosses wont yell at you?
or do you just come straight out and say, LA is a caterpillar that is turning into a butterfly
and then a sports car
and then a train wreck
and then a forest fire
and then a drought
and then a race riot
and then a gang bang
and then Woodstock
and then and then and then?
or do you just say fuck that and pay attention to the one thing you loved
and report back on that
because aint no way youre gonna describe the past future and present of shit
not you
new yorker.
