I took the bus around the Los Angeles area on a Saturday. The bus I used was the 30/330 that goes from Sunset Boulevard into East Los Angeles. This was mostly what seemed to be residential areas and the main streets of Los Angeles. While riding the bus I saw the difference within the people through the surrounding buildings. The visible wealth disparity between the residents of Los Angeles is very stark and can be seen within neighborhoods. Starting at Sunset, near the Greystone Mansion, the buildings are well kept and show a variety of architectural styles. The styles often reflect older styles or modern styles, with little in-between and a distancing from the industrial, mass produced style. The buildings are often painted in light colors, but these colors would easily be dirtied by the high levels of smog in Los Angeles. That would call for the buildings to be kept up on a regular basis, meaning that the owners would have to be wealthy enough to afford the regular upkeep. Sunset Boulevard held many houses as pictured above that were very well kept along with the yards and grass areas around them. The buildings held a certain amount of splendor, based on the distinctive architectural styles, consequently this gave the area the feeling that it was well-to-do. That feeling that the area was higher class was reinforced when compared to residential areas farther into the city. Around Sunset Boulevard I did not see graffiti and the layout was very orderly. The houses were on…
Mom, did you see Aunty Milly? Her skin has gotten so light. You don’t think that she’s bleaching it right? Isn’t that terrible for your skin? I don’t even know why she’s doing it, it doesn’t look natural she’s a brownish orange color. It’s really sad, it’s not a really good example for Vic because she’ll probably feel the need to do it too. Mom, why do people get terrible weaves, when they could just wear their hair out. It would look so much better, everyone knows it’s not real. What is so…
Moving to Beverly Hills and having the first day of school, in such a pretentious city, having to meet all these new people and trying to make friends with rich brats. Oh how I never thought this would be my life considering I was, Tatum, a small town, Canadian girl that was used to getting dirty, listening to country, driving backgroads, living in cold almost always, and not having to care a whole bunch if my clothes came from Walmart or Chanel (by the way if you could get a pair of nice shoes…
Frequently, it is reported that people “panic” in an emergency, but this word is used loosely by people and sensationalized by the media. Typically, occupants become fearful of the situation but do not exhibit crazy or irrational behavior. Following extensive interviews after the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, May 28, 1977, it is reported that the staff continued taking care of patrons and facilitated the evacuation of hundreds of occupants, and for the most part the occupants followed…
