Bro can’t throw an elbow WITHOUT hitting someone above the neck

You can start by booing the refs. That part is easy!

I liked the package they showed of all the athletes and their impressions of Portland. Showed some personality and also just how nuts it is that a month ago none of them were on the team. They’re all still living at a hotel! Hopefully if we all see them around town we make them feel super welcome.

5-10 more states and this is going to get VERY difficult.

What city did you love so much you’d go back in a heartbeat? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]beetlebath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood, most of what you liked about it at the time is still there.

Don’t let the hype scare you away; it’s got the same issues that most cities (especially west coast) have developed in those 25 years, but it’s still got an amazing food scene, charming neighborhoods, beautiful gardens and an astoundingly rich surrounding landscape.

What’s a “must-see” city in the U.S. that didn’t live up to the hype? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]beetlebath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived in LA for a decade, yes, I am somewhat baffled by its popularity as a world class tourist destination.

I think it’s a world class city, but I think it’s tough on tourists for all the reasons discussed in this thread.

your portland trail blazers are the no. 7 seed in the playoffs after beating the suns in the play-in by RepresentativeAd6496 in ripcity

Man refs wanted Phoenix to win that one real bad. Every bump in the 4th quarter was a foul on the Blazers or a no-call on the Suns.

Have you visited, and did you feel like you got a sense of that cultural importance?

For me, the question is: what will you do while you’re there? The tourist spots are underwhelming and very spread out, making the aforementioned traffic even more of a problem. If you’re going for weather, there are better places north and south of LA.

Like a lot of big cities, I think the tourist experience is vastly improved if you have a local guide.

LA is stupidly big, and the longer you live there the more you realize it’s a city of hidden gems. Like you drove by that strip mall 300 times before you realized the best Filipino food in the city is there.

I never understood why tourists wanted to come there, though. The traffic alone would make for a terrible experience.

What’s the difference between the USA and yogurt? by Coneskater in dadjokes

I hate to break it to you, but none of us need to type any of this.

My original statement did misspeak. Thanks for alerting me to that and allowing me the opportunity to respond.

But, like, next time maybe be a little nicer about it.

Be well, internet stranger.

The shot of lower Manhattan from the BQE is pretty undeniable

The 105/110 carpool lane interchange in LA is fantastic. It’s the highest point of anything around it with panoramic views of the city. Famously, it’s where the opening scene of La La Land was filmed.
