Last week I was in Beverly Hills and Hollywood for work. I had never been so it was definitely an interesting experience. Stayed a couple blocks from Rodeo Drive and went up and down Sunset and Hollywood and Melrose and all kinds of other inexplicably famous streets every day. I can't imagine wanting to live there, but it was pretty neat to see for just a week. Didn't really have the time to take any good pictures, unfortunately, so hopefully I'll make it back again some time this year so I can do up some fun photos.
The whole town is built like a downtown in that everything is built to the street, but all the buildings are one or two stories. So you've got miles of downtown-like suburb areas. It's really weird looking and fairly lame. Traffic sucks and the people are interesting to say the least. I saw Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters at Craft on the night of the Grammy's and later saw John Cho from Harold and Kumar on the Paramount lot. Had lots of expensive overrated food and saw lots of nice cars. All in all I wasn't really impressed. I need to hit up Bel Air next time and chill with Will.
