Steve Sailer: the site of an old Chevy factory commemorates the days when cars and planes, not just movies, were manufactured in the San Fernando Valley.

God d@mn it, don't start with the California nostalgia - you're just going to make everyone even more depressed than they already are.

Plus it's a Saturday night & I'm tipsy bordering on drunk & I get really sentimental when I'm in this state.

On the bright side, though, I did sit next to a lady at a wine tasting this evening and she did NOT freak out on me when I explained to her that the USA would collapse and disintegrate into chaos no later than about 2020.

That was weird - usually chicks freak out when you talk about stuff like that.

Man, though, Cali must have been the shiznat back in the day: B000002T9C001003.

You're a bit unfair to LA Steve. It's only a few hundred years old, while Rome was an important city in 200 BC. Of course the former will be a mess, while the latter unique, given that it has more than two millenia of construction before the auto.

Parts of LA are quite distinct and very unique -- Hancock Park, Venice, Playa del Rey, Downtown, Santa Monica, West LA around Sunset.

It's just newer, built mostly for the car, and hasn't had time to age into uniqueness in most of it's neighborhoods. Mexico City is no picnic either.

Good call on the elites not caring much about Mexicans except as status-props.

It's interesting how Under the Same Moon was a big dud with the art house crowd while the immigration-themed The Visitor is proving to be a modest hit. Is it because the immigrant subjects of the latter are Syrian and West African, and thus more exotic and interesting to white, upscale audiences than the people they see in front of the Home Depot every day? Or is it because Under the Same Moon wags a finger and tells white people what meanies they are, while in The Visitor everyone is basically goodhearted (even the immigration authorities) and the story is the very popular "an uptight white dude learns how to loosen up and have soul from ethnic people" story?
