Blogging Social Difference in L.A. Week 1

This blog that I am forming is for Geography 151: Cities and Social Difference. Throughout this blog I plan to explore the different cities in Los Angeles and compare the social forms of each city within L.A. The reason I am particularly interested in taking this class and writing this blog is for various reasons. One is because during spring quarter, I had taken Metropolitan L.A. with Professor Wilford and truly enjoyed the class and got to know more about the metropolitan areas in Los Angeles particularly. Another reason I am interested in this class and writing this blog is because I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Being a Los Angeles native makes me think that I should know it inside and out, but having studied in the class, Metropolitan Los Angeles, it made me realize that there is so much more out there that I had not known, considered, or even bothered to pay attention to. I know that growing up in a particular town, a suburb for that matter, I have been a bit sheltered. With that, I feel that taking this class and keeping a blog will let me explore Los Angeles and see what is out there in the urban fabrics of Los Angeles outside of my little hometown within such a large mass of land. Join me on my trip through Los Angeles and see what it has to offer.
