L.A. is a put. One of our kids lives in N. Hollywood. We wish he
didn't.


Hollywood is a cesspool. How did they end up there?

Max

He's a film editor for New Line (LOTR fame) and does commercials, stunts,
etc in his spare time....


Yes, but Hollywood?? It's but a short drive to safer proximal
residential areas, away from the 'tutes, dealers, and general
ner-do-wells that slither about the streets of Hollywood. I can't
understand why anyone would want to live there, although I do understand
why folks work there.

Max

He can't afford an apartment outside that area....he amkes small
production films and prefers to live relatively cheaply there so he has
funds to priduce his own stuff for film festivals, etc....


You couldn't pay me enough to live in any part of Hollywood, especially the
west end. Last visit there I rolled up the windows and locked the doors.
Frightening place.

Max


His apartment is on the very edge and is in an enclosed compound,
mostly Hispanic families with mothers who stand watch all day over
their kids. Says there haven't been any problems there and he
doesn't walk the neighborhood...when you're young and trying to get
established, sometimes you have to live in places and accept things
that you wouldn't later on in life. he has a good work ethic and
wants to make it in "the Biz" so delegates everything he can to that
pursuit. It's not what we would have chosen for him, but it is what
he wants and it is his life.
