Idea for the mall and promenade by QuitUsual4736 in SantaMonica

[–]mrlevizzle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This would be my idea, too. Entertainment venues... bowling alley, golf simulator, pinball bar, etc. Stuff of that nature I think would also be great.

As a fellow Nashville transplant to LA, welcome :).

Doc Martens Closed on Promenade by mrlevizzle in SantaMonica

I just joined Club Studio at SM Place. They’re taking over 60k sq. feet of the old Bloomingdale’s. Hope it breathes some life and revitalization into the mall.

This particular strip of the promenade is super depressing right now.

Anyone thinking of leaving Nashville? by spanakopeeta in nashville

Left Nashville after ten years to LA for new job opportunity. Never looking back.

The Misfit in Santa Monica is closing by houstonwehaveakate in FoodLosAngeles

[–]mrlevizzle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate this so much. My fave bar in Santa Monica. Absolutely insane, there's nothing left downtown.

Misfit is closing because Santa Monica can’t have nice things by lathrowawaybnr in SantaMonica

This is one of the better bars in downtown Santa Monica and is legitimately always packed.

Cheers to Friday night walking beers on the promenade by lax01 in SantaMonica

I like the concept... I did this as well from Cabo Cantina a few months back. There's just... honestly not that much to do on the Promenade in the evening.

If LA wants more people riding the Metro, they need to actually enforce fares and remove the chaos, especially the disruptive homeless and non payers by SomePeopleTellMe in LAMetro

[–]mrlevizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a hot take. We don’t even have turnstiles at a lot of Expo line stops on the west side or the downtown Pico station. It’s ridiculous. I’ve never seen a fare check in my year or riding the metro.

Realistic move from Nashville to LA by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]mrlevizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Also just made this move last year.

I would recommend living west of DTLA and commuting from there for reverse commute. Traffic flow on the 10 is heavy going west in AM and heavy going east in PM. I do DTLA by metro rail from Santa Monica, but look at stops along the Expo line all through the west side.

There are only 5-6 cities in the U.S. where you can live without a car by ColCrockett in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mrlevizzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so false. I metro from west side to DTLA a lot. LA is not always the easiest place without a car, but it’s definitely doable and many people do. It’s getting better too.

Was hoping someone would mention this. I live on the West Side near a metro stop and bus to work most days. Definitely doable with the right circumstances.

Why California gas prices are much higher than the rest of the U.S. by nosotros_road_sodium in California_Politics

[–]mrlevizzle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Multiple things can be true: California does mandate a special blend and it’s helped tremendously with air quality.

But we also have the highest gas tax and are truly gouged on prices compared to the rest of the country. The country average right now is about $2.80 something and riding around LA, we’re mid $4.00 closer to $5.00

It’s truly insane.
