I love the scenery of LA. LOVE IT. But I do not like the actual city.

LA County Sheriff, not LAPD. Plenty of people talk about Chicago. The only people that talk about LA are the people on VH1 or Entertainment Tonight. Some educated professionals those are!

You are on something. So, you're saying because Oprah lives in Santa Barbara, it's best? Yeah, dream on. Santa Barbara is VERY far from LA, by the way.

Oh, please. Forbes does not specialize in travel.

I realize that, but I thought it was worth bearing note that it doesn't require much provoking from others to get a rise out of you when LA is the topic of discussion.

Oh, then what do they specialize in Sherlock? Travel is a major business industry, and last time I checked Forbes was a business magazine.

Forbes specializes in journaling. MEDIA. You know, the business that is known to exaggerate, stretch the truth, lie, etc.?

As long as Chicago doesnt get attacked, I dont get brutal about LA.

I think he's saying that they dont specialize in travel/tourism, even though they might cover it. IOW, theyre no Conde Nast....

And, Conde Nast is not media--prone to exaggeration and truth stretching with their "traveler surveys"?
