I heart L.A.

Call me shallow, ungrateful, whatever you want, but I prefer L.A. any day over NYC. I live just 20 minutes outside of Manhattan, & only go there when absolutely necessary. Don't get me wrong, it's convenient for shopping or whatever else you may need...but everything in L.A. is newer, the weather is sooo much better, the fashion is better (in my opinion), & the mindset is more laid back than in the rat-race of the city. How can you possibly be in a bad mood when you live in all that sunshine?? So my question is: what is all the hype about NYC? You can see lights, tall buildings, & bad fashion almost anywhere.
