I have no desire to visit L.A. I would say L.A. seems like it would be a special kind of horrible. The one city I've been to I hated was St. Lewis. It was really bad to drive though and a pain to get turned around if you got lost. In my opinion Atlanta is the nicest big city. People were really friendly there. I got lost and strangers were really helpful in getting me turned around. I even had a homeless guy stop and help me when I ended up in a bad part of town. Southern hospitality was very present there.
