I live in Venice, in Los Angeles.
Best: I live like six freaking feet from the beach/from the Venice Boardwalk, there's amazing farmer's markets near here, I love the mix of cultures, the restaurants and markets, I love the music and theater scenes, all the museums, I love the film industry and living in the world heart of movie-making, and I love the huge and diverse Jewish community. Did I mention living feet away from the beach?!! I can hear the surf at night, and watch the beach bunnies frolic during the day-- when the future Mrs. Levite lets me....
Worst: It gets too hot too often, the smog is getting way better but still kinda sucks, it can take a long time to get anyplace in this town-- I just mean like freeways and traffic and everything being real spread-out, thanks to global climate fuckage there's nowhere near enough rain here, and the cost of living is through the goddamn roof-- just the price of housing is enough to give you a heart attack....
