All in all, my trip to Laurel Canyon and Beverly Hills was even more fun and exciting than I initially expected
I don’t get a lot of chances to visit California now that I had to move to New England when my employer moved their company offices. It was amazing living in Los Angeles, simply because I was finally in such a diverse environment that I could drive to any corner, regardless of the time of day or night and find something exciting and fun. Being in your 20s in Los Angeles with few cares in the world is an experience I will cherish in my memories for the rest of my life. While it was a lot of fun at that time, it was hard to survive in an expensive area when I wasn’t making much money as a service employee. I had to leave California before I could finally come back years later to visit semi-regularly. While the New England job pried me away from the Golden State, I now wonder all the time what it will take to get me to move back. I recently rented a house in Laurel Canyon for a long weekend while visiting a few of my friends that live in Beverly Hills. Laurel Canyon is famous for all of the folk rock musicians who lived here in the 1960s and 1970s. It’s also a gorgeous neighborhood high up in the Hollywood Hills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Since my friends’ houses are in Beverly Hills, we did a lot of walking down streets like Wilshire and Rodeo before hitting a cannabis dispensary near Norma Triangle. All in all, my trip to Laurel Canyon and Beverly Hills was even more fun and exciting than I initially expected. I wish I could come back to move here forever, but hopefully that day will come sooner or later.
