Rapkin, M. (2013). Leaving los angeles. The Virginia Quarterly Review, 89(1), 218-223,10. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/1315926674?accountid=14749
Rapkin is a native New
Yorker who is on the verge of moving to LA. Although he is not
officially an Angelino, he does a very good job of glossing over some of
LA’s distinct features. As a writer himself he is an insider of the
celebrity world and understands the ins and outs of celebrities in Los
Angeles. He offers his own personal insight, as a New Yorker, to compare
and contrasts the vast differences of the two head-butting cities.
Some of
what he brings up is what I would be interested in blogging about. He
claims to not be an outdoorsy guy, but yet he still takes hikes. This
kind of phenomena of crossing cultures is definitely practiced in LA.
For the majority of the article he talks about how LA is celebrity
obsessed and how he has had personal experiences with some celebs. This
article would be useful to back up my own theory that Angelinos are open
to crossing into new cultures.
