That is my approach to.. know what is going on around me, but not let it dictate my decisions.. i will stay for now, but i am living here, so if i was traveling around it would be different.

Oh I lived in LA for 15 years, i completely understand.. i do feel safer here, than downtown LA for sure.

Thank you for sharing.. Cali, Colombia I think has not changed! haha I visited 4 yeras ago, and it was like that! But the salsa!!
