I also managed to never set foot in LA
Now you know why there are no chain supermarkets in inner cities like this.
They get robbed blind by visitors and employees.
I feel sorry for this guy. Perhaps, he will move to a non-criminal section of the country and succeed.
A few years back, my wife and I were in Las Vegas, I noticed a sign saying, California only so many miles, 40 or so? I had never been there but my wife had, so we drove into Californian, took the very first exit and made a turn around. I entered the on ramp to go back to Nevada and there was no trafic to speak of so I pulled over while still on the ramp, opened my door and stepped my left foot on the ground. Now I can say, I have stepped foot in California.
I live less than 10 miles from NYC, and haven’t been there for over a decade. I don’t intend to, either.
