Jack, when you say:
LA is made up of a lot of communities, very distinct, which all surround the the actual city center.
..........
Jack that is what I learned too being there often living in such communities! Every community there is to be enjoyed because each is very different as you maybe noticed. That is what charms LA, Hollywood and areas!
Enjoy!
Au revoir,
hugs! Did you go to a gay restaurant yet, where only gay men are there ?
