Los Angeles is on strike!


The majority of the grocery workers have been on strike for 3 days now, the MTA mechanics began their strike today so there's mostly no public transportation resulting in a huge increase in traffic. The beach officially went on strike, the ocean refuses to make waves and meet the sand. The air went on strike a long time ago... ok I'm being facetious but it seems like the whole city is shutting down!

The newest fashion statement is a picket sign. Everybody strike and join the fun!

This just might be my cue to leave this city.

And if I remember correctly, you hate your job/boss. The sun is still shining in San Diego (as long as you are not a Chargers fan).

If anything is going on strike in L.A. it should be the air. Talk about abused and beaten, we get that crap blowing through our city also.

And smiles you\'ll give and tears you\'ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Seth, yes Los Angeles does. It has a light rail and subway system. What I can say that when I used to live near the city, the subways stations and trains are much cleaner than what I saw in New York City and Philadelphia.

But everyone drives their own subway car.

"This just might be my cue to leave this city."

I moved back home to Wisconsin from Los Angeles about a month ago and I do miss it somewhat. I will still be flying back to L.A. multiple times a year because I have developed personal ties while there, however, I seriously doubt I would ever move back permanently. I will say that I miss the ocean, sunshine, and 97.1 the FM Talk Station!

Anyone else a Conway and Steckler fan?

No worries, the Termi-groper will soon set things to right.

I think the grocery thing is going countrywide.

Big strikes here in St. Louis, OH, and PA!

Yeah I think the grocery store strike is spreading, but here in L.A. it's worse because of the transit strike. I think this has all the ingrediants for another riot.
