Fan Question of the Week: Would you rather live in Los Angeles or Miami?

Now that I have officially spent enough time living in both, and let the dust settle on Miami, I can answer this with a clear head.

There are pros and cons to both but keep in mind, different strokes for different folks. Here are mine:

LA Pros:
-Good for entertainment networking: every seemingly innocuous night out is a chance to meet a person that will help your career in some way shape or form
-Huge diversity of activities from sports, to outdoorsy stuff, to comedy shows, etc.
-Great for hiking, walking the beach, and other outdoor activities
-Typically always sunny
-Health-conscious culture

LA Cons:
-Not great for people with more traditional values
-Nightlife can be hit or miss; way less “hype”
-The stereotype is that people are fake, but opportunist is probably a better word. I’d rather fake nice though than real mean like you find in other places *cough cough* New York…
-Serious homelessness problem / aesthetically displeasing these days

Miami Pros:
-10/10 weather year round, besides maybe summer when it gets too hot
-The best looking people in the country
-Best night life in the country
-Clean / aesthetically pleasing
-My wardrobe was built for this place
-Generally people with good values
-Can live in a luxury apartment for crazy cheap comparatively; easier to hunker down and work when your environment is working for you as opposed to having to contend with it

Miami Cons:
-Nightlife can be overwhelming if you don’t check yourself
-LA gets a bad wrap for being superficial but I think Miami might be the most superficial place in the country
-Very little entertainment industry presence
-Not great for outdoorsy stuff besides boating. I got laughed at for asking where a good place to hike is

Overall, I gotta give it to Miami. I’d live in Orange County maybe if I were forced to live in LA, but my heart is down South. ¡Viva!

Hoss or Toss: Rebooting The Office

In light of recent news…

Hoss: We can trust the brains behind what is considered one of the best shows of all time not to let us down. It’s been enough time where this could potentially fill the void that the show left many of us when it ended.

Toss: Why must every single successful piece of IP have some sort of reboot? Can’t we let sleeping dogs lie? There’s no way this will even come close the original, so why even bother.
