Posted November 13, 200618 yr CALIFORNIA!!! :-D Death Valley = Hot as Hell Support the Troops! Arriving at long last at my new apartment! 2600 miles from my old place, in my new hometown, LOS ANGELES! :-D Nice new building going up next to us. Condos... Expensive... Public transportation will get us the rest of the way to the ocean. Finally made it to the Pacific! I LOVE this building. I finish the trip with a proper West Coast sunset. Thanks for following my journey cross country! :clap: Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
November 13, 200618 yr Great threads! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 13, 200618 yr I don't think I could live in a place like that, it looks awful, but I hope you enjoy it!! Nice pics!
November 13, 200618 yr I don't think I could live in a place like that, it looks awful, but I hope you enjoy it!! Nice pics! yeah, that really sucks
November 13, 200618 yr I don't think I could live in a place like that, it looks awful, but I hope you enjoy it!! Nice pics! I know where you're coming from, every city has it's pros and cons and will appeal to different individuals. Glad you enjoyed the pics! Thanks all for the nice comments!
November 14, 200618 yr Best of luck...Ohio hates to see you go, but maybe you'll be back some day! My fiance's Father live in Silverton so I'm sure we'll be back on a regular basis :) Plus I still have lot of friends in Columbus and Cleveland to visit...
November 14, 200618 yr So what part of LA are you living in now? http://www.laalmanac.com/LA/lamap2.htm ^Find the neighborhood called Sawtelle on that map, and that's where I live!
November 14, 200618 yr Thanks for sharing the trip! Interesting photos, and you'll probably get used to Los Angeles; it looks almost as nice as Columbus. :wink:
November 15, 200618 yr Find the neighborhood called Sawtelle on that map, and that's where I live! Yeah, there is a big VA hospital there. And you live in a dingbat...the courtyard version. Seriously...google "Los Angeles Dingbat"... The Big Blue Bus...yeah I remember those. I wonder if thats where Morrison got inspired for those lines from "The End"... The blue bus is callin us The blue bus is callin us Driver, where you taken us... ...Cmon baby, take a chance with us Cmon baby, take a chance with us Cmon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin a blue rock On a blue bus Doin a blue rock Cmon, yeah well...they reminded me of that lyric anyway. ....nice part of the LA area there, Santa Monica and Venice.... and nice set of pix overall (esp Albuquerque...OKC was not my cup...). It looks like y'all followed part of my route to Ohio, in reverse! I will be taking that road again in a few years...though I will be relocating to Northern California, not LA (nothing against LA, just more familiar with NorCa. although I am thinking about LA too....I like LA alot). If you want to see some nice scenary go past Malibu to Zuma Beach and Point Dume. Drive to on the Pacific Coast Hwy, and back via Mulholland Drive up in the Santa Monicas. Scenery is spectacular.
November 15, 200618 yr Take a look at the pix of Santa Monica beach, and those old busses on it...those are really vintage vehicles. You'll see that more in California...old vehicles that would have rusted out by now here in the Midwest due to the weather and road salt, but still on the road in California.

My advisor (here @ LSU) spends her free time back in Los Angeles restoring old cars with her boyfriend (they're all but married). So she'll drive one of her "restored" cars from LA to La twice a year (I-10 east in August, I-10 west in May/June).
November 15, 200618 yr Very nice. Hope you enjoy LA. Certainly appreciated the photos of the trip to get there.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of those old style busses out here, some of them look brand new though...
November 15, 200618 yr I always enjoy that type of architecture you see in Cali!! Very unique to the states...really only seen in Cali/Florida Cool trip...thx for the journey!!!
November 15, 200618 yr ...really only seen in Cali/Florida ...and Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, South Carolina, parts of Georgia... "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 15, 200618 yr ...really only seen in Cali/Florida ...and Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, South Carolina, parts of Georgia... Thx for the jerk comment! But, those other areas have variations of this...you cannot really say that Colorado has this same type of building style that is seen throughout Cali and Florida. Even the other more 'dry climate' states (Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah)...have a much different feel to them.

Castle Rock has plenty of that type of housing. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 15, 200618 yr you see a bit of that apt style around the mediterranean & in developed areas of central/south america too. excellent series, very enjoyable. hey don't forget about us -- we hope to see more californication!
November 16, 200618 yr Hey, you've got the East coast covered, and I'll cover the West coast! UrbanOhio is slowly taking over the country!
November 16, 200618 yr Nice shots of LA, good luck, and thank you for the memories. Just out of curiosity is pic #10 of a condo building near or in West Hollywood not far from Santa Monica Blvd?
November 17, 200618 yr Great road trip shots and thank you for posting these threads. IMO the St. Louis series pics are tops (-) the shot of the Clydesdales ass! :-)
