Flipside: What is the worst city you ever visited and why?

[kwassa]

297. Doesn't sound like the place for you.

and I'm glad you are not my neighbor, too, particularly with that eyesore of a truck!

I've lived in west central LA, and now I live in the burbs in Maryland. They have different charms. I don't miss the gunshots, the terrible parking, the muggings, burglaries, and vehicle thefts. I used to miss the food, but the burbs here are wildly diverse and we are getting, finally, great ethnic restaurants.

Most of my neighbors in LA were actually quiet and respectful of each other, which is important when we have to keep our windows open to breath during the warm weather. I miss the food, the weather, and the beach.

Westlake Village is Democratic, however, and Henry Waxman is the congressman, I believe. Not exactly behind the Orange Curtain. How about La Canada? Is that more what you are looking for?

There is someplace out in the SF valley where people keep horses in their front yards; I can't remember the name. It is a bizarre mixture of rural and suburban.
