Living in Los Angeles

I have lived in Los Angeles for a majority of my life. I feel that I know the city well, and that I have explored many of its niches, subcultures, and neighborhoods. Through my exploration I have come to the conclusion that every human in Los Angeles lives in a different Los Angeles due to their experiences, interests, family, and a number of other contributing factors (this is true of every city). I take great pride in this and in MY Los Angles. However, Los Angeles, like many famous cities, has a characterized image attached to it. As much as I laugh at the world's view of Los Angeles, I can't help but to acknowledge the depressing fact that the characterized world view is based has a degree of truth in it; but, this isn't all of Los Angeles. Like I said everyone lives in a different Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is a city of daunting proportion. The idea of assigning it one identity is impossible. For now the only true way of branding Los Angeles is YOUR NAME HERE's Los Angeles.
