Any one going to the new LA Audio show at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel

I was once in LA and never will return again. Nothing there to see for me at all.

Filthy, old, neglected, unmanaged, unattractive, repulsive, depressive and beat up city (still feeling of  that post-WW2 debris) and half-way down or more destructed buildings.

Where did you go?   I lived in So Cal for 5 years, 2nd job after college and had a GREAT time.  Met some life long friends ...  Got a Guards Red Porsche, no worries, no responsibilities ... simpler times :-) Mostly hung around PCH in Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach.    

you left out "dangerous"

There are bad neighborhoods in all cities.   I also lived in DC for several years for work and talk about dangerous, every other block is dangerous.  Yikes!
