A healthy fascination for Hollywood...

Since a little boy I always dreamed of visiting and exploring Hollywood/LA.
Grown and raised in Tennessee and being over 2,000 miles away from it , it seemed like a long shot in ever seeing it.

But my dream came true back in 2007 as my wife got a traveling nurse job at USC and they set us up with a luxury high rise apartment right in the smack middle of downtown LA.

It was quite a culture shock for a small town poduck from Tennessee. But I loved every minute of the experience.

We made it on the Dr. Phil Show and got our 5 minutes of fame when the camera zoomed in on us for about 10 long seconds in the audience.

Saw Arnold the Terminator trying on suits at Rodeo drive. He looked incredible in person. The cameras do not do him justice.

We visited La Ink and watched and talked to Cat van doo and also saw a slew of other celebrities on the street including 'Big Pussy' from the Sopranos who I briefly talked to and the cast from 'that 70s show'.

We lived in LA for nearly 5 years. I would not want to raise my girls there but really want to visit in the next few years.

Anyway, if you want to see a really good movie that sums up the LA/Hollywood experience then you need to see 'La La Land'

It's one of my favorites!!
