- I have been to LA it's Filthy, Stinky, Overpriced, Polluted, and Congested. That has been my experience with LA the many times I go there. - Bacon Jul 9, 13:56 3

    - I used to spend my Summers down there as a kid. Now we go just to do the Disneyland, Universal thingy. But next time I come down I will definitely - Bacon Jul 9, 14:05 1
      - It's a huge tourist trap, but I like Universal/CityWalk. Lots to see and do, including a real Imax screen -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 14:10

  - you have to pay those regardless -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 13:54
