Um I seriously don't think many people on this site have had the opportunity to drive or walk on both, little less even one of them. And roads are things you have to experience first hand in person to know about them and what they offer and feel like. With that said, I am out of this. I don't know if I've seen Wilshire or not. But I do know that Los Angeles's plan for building the tallest building in Downtown Los Angeles (a Supertall) is called "The Wilshire Tower" so I guess this street goes through Downtown Los Angeles?
I have been to Los Angeles and cant remember if I've been on Wilshire or not. I know Westheimer well but not too well to speak about all of its areas or whatever. I mean what exactly are we comparing here? That criteria isn't good enough for anything other than posting pictures of ethnic people walking and saying "I win".
I think that line I highlighted holds true for just about anything and everything on City-Data. That's pretty much the story of these threads.

Can you at least tell us where "Westheimer" is??? I guessed Houston, but I have no idea.

For those that don't know, Wilshire is a street that is in Los Angeles & Westheimer is a street that goes through Uptown Houston and other areas of Houston.
And some pictures for now. More later on. Peace and Happy New Years to all!

Yeah I know who left you the rep. It's just a simple trace the Internet Protocol (especially since they aren't using a Proxy). But yeah if it disturbs you, you can always ask CaseyB to look into it. I never really for those but its easy to pinpoint where it comes from too, just look at the time you got it, how many rep points you got with it, what thread it came from, and the vocabulary and it will pinpoint you to who it is.
Either that or ask me and I can let you know. It's pretty low when people do that. But oh well.

It is weird to get reps that are actually insults! Honestly, there are some really mean-spirited people on C-D.
Danny, those photos of Westheimer Blvd look a lot like Los Angeles. What is Westheimer Blvd like overall? Wilshire Blvd is probably the main east\ west artery across the LA basin. A fun street to drive but only on the weekend when there is less traffic. Wilshire runs thru several very different sections of Los Angeles.
