East vs. West

I'm totally running out of things to talk about, mainly because I'm trying to write something for my travel writing course and it's depleting me completely. So instead of yet another rant about traveling or how cool big ben is, I want to resurrect a decade dead feud. East vs. West. LA vs. New York.

Now the only reason I'm doing this is because my sister, Erin, has lived in both places and the symbolism of this age old feud can't be beat. It should also be noted that I am not really including any of the east or west coast cities, because let's be honest, does anyone really give a shit about Boston or San Francisco?

So which is better: the fun, hot, dumb shallow chick, or the moody deep pretentious chick. Daria vs. Quinn. Exactly.

Ok so what does LA have to offer....umm duh it's beautiful, they have great mexican food (which I could really go for right now), there is a great art scene (although hidden) and I do have a fetish for multi-million dollar real estate. Not to mention you have canyons, mountains, and the beach. In my humble opinion, it is easily the best place to vacation, party, be a tourist in the U.S. Now the only true downside to this city by the sea is the fact that everyone there is kinda dumb, like 6 million Paris Hilton's running around like chickens with their heads come off.

So a beautiful city with no soul? yea kinda.

Now we move a little East to NYC. When I was little we used to vacation in Manhattan and yet I have never been to the statue of liberty, the empire state building, and um what is Ellis Island? I used to be obsessed with NYC dreaming of the day that I would one day make it there and live in a fabulous brownstone a la the Countess. The only problem is, one day I also began to understand the concept of money and than that little 9/11 thing happened. Now when I go to NYC I get depressed. It's not the golden city I had always imagined, it's crowded, busy, noisy, and expensive. Somewhere along the line it turned into Gotham. That being said, the people are smart, the scene is amazing, and it has everything anyone could ever want.

So which city wins? I don't know, I also don't even know who shot Biggie so I wouldn't be holding my breath for an answer.
