My chiro's not in West LA. And when I went to West Hollywood for coffee I was stunned by how industry the cafe was. When I lived with Allyson in Los Feliz, celebrities were thicker on the ground than they are around me in West LA (well, except for at my gym).
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's one thing I'm aware of that's really changed. The part of Los Feliz that wasn't the hills was kinda chintzy when I lived there. I hear it's quite the rage now.
Silverlake was just a year or two down the road in its gentrification process. I gather there are some other neighborhoods that were working class in my time and aren't now.
WeHo is included in my definition of West LA. You gots to remember that us folks from the SGV think y'ALL are West. :) Of course WeHo's going to be think with industry.
I'm still trying to catch up with the Buffista stuff. Last I knew you were living in Irvine, ita. Glad you're closer to the action now because West LA's got to be more your speed than Irvine.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wonder what psychological effects not hunting has on the carnivores.It's why they have a cheetah run at the Wild Animal Park. They get to chase and "kill" the lures. Makes them much much happier.

I was never in Irvine, actually. I moved from Los Feliz to here. But I did spend a little too much time working down there. Ick commute.
I was just reading about West in LA. West Hollywood might be West Side, they said, but West LA was maybe a smaller unit that may or may not include anything not specifically LA (like Brentwood or Santa Monica).

I sometimes wonder if my barista could hook me up with an agent.

It was really hard not to laugh--fresh faced kids, maybe waving around videotapes with their names printed neatly on them, being told that they just need the right vehicle, or meeting people who gave them a business card right as they say hello, and scattered scribbling in scripts.
Ah, LA.

Yeah, my (and probably my family's) idea of West LA is very general. It's kind like saying "Back East" or "Down South". For me, things start getting West LA around LACMA and parts west. But WeHo is definitely included in my idea of West LA.

But LACMA is east of Fairfax which makes it not so west at all. More midcity.

East siders are evidently weird.
Of course, I used to consider the 405 the dividing line. I'm still troubled by living east of it.
