Random commentary, LA times had this article this weekend, and it felt to me like some kind of strange navel gazing article focused entirely on the author and not on the topic. Is this the style 20-year olds write nowadays? (almost no info or perception of the actual topic, almost all "my feelings/emotions" without context)
LA Times: Walking 15 miles from Central Library to the beach was supposed to be solitary — then I met L.A.

Ah, you must be new to this thing "L.A.". You see, L.A. is short for Los Angeles, the sprawling metropolis known for being the largest metro area in the US, and home to over 18 million people. You are also headed from the downtown area to one of the more well known beach areas along a route that is, quite possibly, the most well visited portions of the city.
You would find a more solitary experience getting on a Tokyo commuter train during morning rush hour.
