This is a big town.  Not in outlook. Not necessarily in population.

But in Area?  We are as big as many Euro countries!  PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP BEFORE YOU TRAVEL HERE.  When a gentleman caller asks you where you will be staying, figure it out and let him know.

So far from personal experience and imparted anecdotes, I have found the customary fuzziness of some (by no means all but some) ladies to be MADDENING!  

Letting someone know that you will be in Marina Del Rey does not mean that LE will descend apon you! It's a big area!  Saying Century City or Beverly Hills does not mean the same.  Newport Beach is AN HOUR from LAX.  Downtown is A HALF HOUR from Santa Monica (assuming NO traffic).  The Valley, while charming, is at least 45 minutes from West Hollywood.   All these areas are large, at least as large as any full town back east, and yet they all make up LA.

We are used to our cars in LA and we will travel for the right offer, but we need to know where you are and when you will be there in order to plan, even if we are making a late date.  You will need a car and a relaiable map (or several) to make outcalls.

to those of you who have been here before, I apologise for stating the obvious.  But to those of you who are here for the first time- think about it.  This is not like most towns with a centre that is central.  We have many centres, and they all have a different character (or none at all -our cross to bear) and are  all far from each other by eastern standards.

So please, when a gentleman asks alot of questions- be prepared to dialogue.  This not a total LE move, but a legit action.  Save your wariness for your other screening (you gots to- our LE are pricks) and get your plan straight.

I personally have only dialogued with a couple of travellers, as I usually am not in that market.  But in conversations with others and the few exchanges I have held, the lack of preparation and knowledge have been annoying to the point dropping the subject, a big loss if one has already shelled cash to get here and engage one of our over priced hotel rooms...

That said?  Get you ass over here! It's a great town with good food and the weather is freakin AWESOME!!!!!!

(BTW- LE comes in all stripes here from the corrupt to the totally corrupt- with plenty of jurisdiction issues as some parts of >LA are incorporated distinctly and some not- so think about that too.)
