PFT: firm belief OBJ (was) signing with Saints

That is true. Severe weather everywhere with COVID as the rancid cherry on top.

I've been here in Los Angeles since 1996. No place is for everyone and no place is perfect, but on balance I really like Los Angeles and this is where I need to be career wise.

I'm no fan of the Rams, going all the way back to the old NFC West, so I get the animosity towards the Rams.

The animosity toward Los Angeles always judges the people living here too. There's a lot of places that I wouldn't want to live, but I don't insult or have a low opinion of the people that choose to live there. You didn't come across that way, but most of the other people that dump on Los Angeles also dump on the people that live here. It's disrespectful, and quite frankly it's short-sighted bigotry.
Great post. I loved my time out there. Never lived anywhere near LA but San Clemente is one of my favorite places. Lived there and around south OC most of the first ten years was out there.
The cost of housing and the godawful traffic finally got to be too much. Well that and missing New Orleans.
