Making Waves is a weekly question feature created by the Waterwitch Babes (part of Susan Dennard's Truthwitch Street Team). Every Thursday, we’ll have a fun question that all are welcome to answer on their blog. The questions will be random and/or relate to the upcoming book Truthwitch by Susan Dennard. A linky is provided so that everyone can link up their post and participate in the fun!
To participate we do ask that you use the Making Waves banner in your post and link back to the Waterwitch Babes blog.
Question 6: Where do you live? What is magical about your city for you?
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, California, and here's the thing about Los Angeles, the city proper: I don't really like it. It's crowded all the time, not very clean, I wouldn't be too comfortable hanging around there at night (although it's not that dangerous I suppose.) And it's not the best city to walk around in - you need a car in LA. You could take the bus or the scant subway system, but it's not a great system, and not the best if you want to get anywhere in a timely manner.
So... this is completely negative so far. I guess what I do love about Los Angeles is the fact that I can see some great live theatre shows here. That I can drive around and sometimes see a film or TV show filming in the streets. It's nice to have a major city nearby for access to these things. And at night, all the lights are really pretty. There aren't too many must see attractions in downtown Los Angeles (probably the main ones people think of are more in Hollywood or Beverly Hills) so it's really an interesting sort of city. It's equated with California - especially with Southern California, but the actual city is not so great that it can compare in variety, culture and just class to New York, Paris, and London.
If I were to tout about Southern California though, I do love it! You can get to the mountains and snow, or the desert, or a forest, or the beach and the ocean in about an hour. There's so much variety and access when it comes to culture. We have all kinds of food, lots of great places to visit, and really great weather most of the year. Just don't get too excited about the actual Los Angeles haha.
