If you're wearing a touristy t shirt and cargo shorts you're not even sitting in their restaurant 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why are people making it seem so bad. Worst case scenario a few homeless people try to bother you but if you stay stern looking and don't make eye contact nobody will fuck with u over there As soon as u look/speak back, it's game over. A guy chased me with a weapon for riding a Bird Scooter on "his streets" (i am taking into account that i am a man but regardless, if you don't look or talk back, they don't bother you - if you're a girl or gay-looking or something you will unfortunately get bothered with more by the homeless/on-crack-population there but just don't talk back!! or don't look at all if you can manage - it's hard to do that as a tourist though) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fl0r1dakil0s 20,685 Posted June 6, 2023 If you have time, make the drive up towards San Jacinto State Park. On the way there you pass Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia, etc. On the way back you can see the freeway exit that says "Sierra Madre" and right behind it is a mountain shaped like boobs (maintaining my theory that is where the lyrics came to her) It's not a touristy thing and is more of a chill activity so if you're in the mood to have fun skip it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fl0r1dakil0s 20,685 Posted June 6, 2023 ALSO!! "Topanga's hot tonight, the city by the bay" Is probably about this GORGEOUS scenic drive (since the actual city isn't really by the "bay", the scenic road named with the city is by the bay). It starts all the way at Santa Monica, makes it halfway down to Malibu, then goes up an INCREDIBLE road with a cool tunnel (with sort of yellow lights) and everything. If you have a Lana day planned or sometbing tbis should absolutely be part of it. It sounds crazy but I always feel like a little bit of her is in the air on that drive after midnight, it's where she's said she would write lots of her songs back in the day and there are so many moments when you can SEE lyrics in real life 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t consider it dangerous, just a variety of people there hahaha 2 Quote dancing all night to the dirty blues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
