    Crime ridden Hell hole, extremely accurate! You didn't even see the worst by far. Hollywood has sunk, with the rest of the city, it's now seedy, tacky, to be kind. Filthy, trashy, smelly, watch where you walk, and what you may be stepping into, or on to. My best friend used to live there, used to lay over between flights to visit friends. He now even refuses connecting flights through LA, it's BAD! So glad you made it through without incident!

    You would think that the rich & famous might club together & help in somewhere, but it is the politicians that can do that, but it goes on in so many countries unfortunately.
    Another interesting vlog Lee, the effort you put in to it with the editing side of it as well needs to be applauded 👏🏻

    I did enjoy LA but i was last there in 2019 and genuinely think that its gotten way worse nowadays!

    Big film/movie locations fan, especially Columbo. Visited a lot of Columbo locations, quiet a number of which still exist almost unchanged...including the Travel Town train museum where he bumps into the CIA agents, not far from which is Forest Lawn cemetery with a lot of famous people, including to my suprise Marty Feldman also Stan Laurel and Lee Van Cleef. Also went to MacArthur Park....the subject of the song, dodgy area, great big 4 lane road right through the middle, big disappointment, don't know why anyone would write a song about that place. Jimmy Webb must have been Pi$$ed. However, biggest shock for me was Westwood memorial park, we went there to visit grave of Marilyn Monroe and also found Dean Martin and Natilie Wood there as well. It's so small, difficult to find and entered almost by an alleyway surrounded by a multi story car park and high buildings. I have a story related to a horror film, it's young star and Westwood, it's too lengthy to tell here.
