Theres a new Korean shopping mall in Buena Park, CA called "the Source". For those that dont know thats Knotts Berry Farm area, and Orange County's Korean district. I went for the cinema because Korean movies are awesome. But the place was remarkable. Exceptionally clean, very stylish, the people were all thin and dressed to impress, obviously polite and well mannered. Some of the women are gorgeous too. Will post a picture when I go back. It's a cool spot.
Koreans don't cause problems, they like America, they arent flooding the country by the millions scamming the job market. They make great neighbors. Good food. They are happy to shoot troublemakers and rioters for us. God bless the Koreans.
Just went swimming at Pirates Cove in Corona Del Mar. Man this beach brings back lots of childhood memories. The place is a natural playground formed out of the rocks you literally have to climb to get to it and really has a pirate vibe as in there could be buried treasure.
I'll post about the caves next after I shower off. โ at Newport Beach, CA
Corona Del Mar has these cool caves along the bay. Years ago there were iron gates rusted from sea water blocking them off so people don't drown inside when the tide rises. They looked like some pirate era shit hence the name Pirates Cove. Not all of them though, some passage ways you could squeeze through as a kid and go exploring. Also the larger area pictured here the gates didn't go down deep so you navigate a narrow passage way sucking your stomach in and then in the big opening you come out to you just dig under the gate and crawl through. Pretty hairy during high tide as the water will wash away your hole and you could get stuck in a dangerous situation, so you had to dig fast!
It's also fun climbing over the rocks to get there. Back in the day some of the stairwells down to these spots were not maintained and half missing like a creepy broken stairway that just falls off suddenly and no warning signs or anything you'd just die if you were stupid. The good ol days...
Having a billion children when you can't feed and educate a single one adequately is disgusting. Right now the least equipped to survive on the planet are procreating at the fastest rate: Sub-Saharan region at 6 kids per woman. Africa is estimated to grow to 4 billion people by 2100.
Went for a swim in Belmont Shore area again. Really love it here. Had to work in L.A. a couple days so this worked out pretty good. Water is still warm and expected to be nice early tomorrow too on our coast.
Drove through normal Long Beach to get here and damn it's as ghetto as I remember. But you get to the water and it's so nice!
A friend commented it's still unspoiled in that out of towners are descending on more popular places and much of the beach is less crowded less developed and has kept its character over the years more than Newport which I guess is planning condo towers and new resorts
Some black guy is angrily walking down the street cursing at nobody about how mad he is and going to fuck them up. The Mexicans are coming out of the laundromat and Jack in the Box staring at him. #LosAngeles Vermont & 5th. Many parts of L.A. this is so normal nobody even looks up. Anyway im drinking a coffee minding my business listening to Buddy Holly.

Downey, California. Needed coffee and figured, why not go to the oldest McDonald's in the world? Built in 1953 it still has the old Speedy mascot. For the extra touch of cool, they are rocking a sweet 50s/60s playlist. "Devil or Angel" by the Clovers was playing as I walked up!! โ at Downey, CA
Woodbridge Lake in Irvine, California. Historically famous for being the safest city in America, and easily one of the most beautiful. Assiduously planned, and meticulously groomed to hold modern life in harmony with natural elements. Virtually nothing is an afterthought, every tree and flower is deliberate. โ at Irvine, CA
Newport Beach. Went swimming here yesterday and wow the water feels amazing. Epic year for SoCal weather. I was sad I couldn't get here for Summer but it literally doesn't matter!
Brief chat with this fellow with the Rolls Royce. Seems cool. Complimented his ride he really likes it. Is eating ice cream now. Because that's what you do when you're that rich. Eat lots of ice cream on the beach and just be happy.

I too am a 2nd generation American. You know how many H1Bs I want to give my people? Zero. You think I'd be OK with Americans losing their jobs and families so we can import more Swedes and Italians? Hell no. I'd never go along with it. That's what it means to assimilate. My family homeland comes distant 2nd. America comes 1st. Always.
I just cast my ballot for James Talarico.
As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home.
I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defendโand the principles we refuse to surrender.

Orange California, the Orange "Circle". Beating heart of the historic city. It looks like a movie about the 50s because a lot of stuff has been filmed here.
Remember that great Tom Hanks movie about the 50s band, That Thing You Do? The mid century America aesthetic was acheived by just shooting here at the Circle!
Also Chapman University is big on film and Chapman/Leonard is here they make the industry standard huge truck camera cranes. I've toured their shop it's impressive.
The city has done a spectacular job of preserving it's historic buildings so has Tustin and Fullerton. Most of my businesses have been on Chapman Ave. It's a fun, lively, social, affordable, safe, historic place that has metro areas too with Stadiums and corporate towers. Orange is a great inland OC city. โ at Orange, CA
At the Block in Orange which rebranded to an Outlets center. Most Saks Off 5th are gone incl South Coast so this being open is cool. There's a jacket here for only $3,000 normally $6,000. See the more you spend, the more you save!
Nordstrom Rack is the real king though for price and selection. And in South Coast it's across the street from normal Nordstrom. You can pay hundreds of dollars less depending on what side of the street you park on. Crazy huh? I get it though. Been both rich enough to not care, and poor enough to have to.
In the background we can see family court and Juvenile Hall. Orange has actually 2 juvi detention centers technically Santa Ana but it's on the border. Not a lot of people know that, now you do.
The 2nd one gives you salsa for your scrambled eggs at breakfast and sometimes ice cream bars for dessert. Or so I've heard.
I'd often walk with a gf near the Frida Kahlo school with a big mural on Ave. Heroes & Flores Magon, and point out Frida was a disgusting communist slut with a unibrow and she fucked Trotsky. Turns out Mexican chicks get really mad when you say that but it's true.
You know what might really make France riot? Wait till they find out not only do Americans all have air conditioning, we even air condition our jails and prisons. Death row inmates get AC!
This goes so hard. I like the Koreans. And really am an enthusiastic fan of their film industry. Per capita they produce more good movies than any country. Gotta respect that.
Naples/Bayshore in Long Beach is absolutely my favorite beach in California. I just went for a long swim and feel like a million bucks. The water is warm even in late October and clear enough to still see your feet in waist high depth. You can rent paddleboard and kayaks and cruise the naples canals, swim with jellyfish in Spinnaker Bay, across from that you can dock behind the grocery store put on a shirt and saddles and go eat at the Mexican restaurant overlooking the water. I took my old company here for a field trip which was great fun.
The open ocean side of the street is pretty different. Kites and Kite surfing is the main activity. Despite the industrial backdrop, the water looks quite nice right?
I may swim on this side tomorrow because I don't think I ever have, and it looks particularly inviting in this hot weather.
Most of Long Beach isn't nice, it gets "hood" fast. But this part feels like you didn't even cross the Orange County border. Happy to see it hasn't changed much over the years and is still a jewel of SoCal coast. โ at Long Beach, CA
