Arizona is for Sandwiches, LA is for Traffic

So I just got back from LA for the weekend, I went there to go to my company's X Mas party @ Dodger stadium, which I must say was Very Disappointing...CASH BAR??? What is the point of getting a fancy spot like Dodger Stadium if there isn't gonna be an Open Bar???
...I digress
Anyway after spending another weekend in the City of Smog I realized that the biggest city's in this country are pure crap.
New York, LA, Miami, Boston Chicago... Why couldn't this country's leaders choose better places to put there biggest and brightest. New York, Boston, Chicago are too F*ing Cold. You know those scenes in the movies where the characters are going through hard times, specifically the cheesy feel good movies, Anyway the scenes where a car drives by and hits a puddle and soaks them with water...So that really happens in these cities.
(I only include Boston in this rant b/c people in this country consider it to be a big city but when I'm there I constantly feel like I am on the outskirts of a city. The nightlife is lame, the Harvard Square Punk Rock/Anarchist wanna be scene is a joke, and the law that you must be 25+ to buy booze with an out of state ID is fitting of how weak Bean Town truly is)
Miami is nice...for a weekend. The idea of living somewhere that will provide Yearly Hurricane scares just doesn't excite me too much.
And LA...oh LA you are 2nd only to Boston in Shit.
Where else would TomKat and Bradgelina, not to mention Beniffer, get a moments notice.
A few weeks ago on a trip to see one of my celebrity loving friends (Who embraces vanity so openly that I have no choice but to love him for it) I got the chance to go out and have a night on the town.
It was Thanksgiving weekend and About 10 of us piled into his room and all the LA natives argued over what night spot to go to...I didn't really care where we went, I preferred a spot that wouldn't be too shi-shi but figured a weekend in LA is rare so why not embrace it.
Anyway after 20 minutes of arguing they settled on the spot, Barney's Beanery. I've been too dive bars (I practically live in them), and I've been too Nice bars/Clubs, but I have never been anywhere like Barney's.
All the people we went with were dressed in their "These are my going out clothes that make me look hot but also make me look like I'm not trying"...A look that nearly every New Yorker I know has tried to perfect with the dreaded hippster look (I am convinced that these people are worse than hippies, at least hippies Pretend to be decent people!).
So we pull up to the "bar" and the other car goes to the valet and naturally I assumed it was a nice place.
We parked our car Across the Street, for FREE, and went inside the "bar" and WOW.
It Was a FUCKING PIZZA PLACE.
A dozen booths.
2 Pool Tables
A Bar
A Pizza Window
And A FUCKING ARCADE (I played Time Crisis, and Air Hockey)
Why would such a dive have a valet??? Because It's LA!!!

Anyway if your curious where this is going...Embrace non-metropolis Big City USA, by that I mean City's that fly under the radar are just more fun (not too mention farrr less pretentious).
Try and check out these city's, the college towns that MTV hasn't yet ruined...And actually all city's West of Chicago that aren't on the coast seem pretty cool (except Bolder, too many hippy's).

Anyway this is my first installment so I'll give a very brief bio:
