What is the Difference Between Uptown and Downtown?

What's the difference between uptown and downtown?

"I'm going uptown to the bank"
"I'm going downtown for a drink"

Uptown: formal, business, etc. Downtown: informal, grittier, where all the action happens.

It definitely has more to do with the characteristics of certain parts of the city. Uptown tends to be he more "classier" part of town, where many people work and business is done. Where as Downtown seems to be the more "bustling" side of town, with nightclubs and tends to be where more people live.

Random, but I'm sure somebody will find this useful.

GLASS WALLS HOME Hollywood Hills,CA - WealthyKidRealEstate

My faavvoorriitte cuzzo Subee is always ranting about having her 'glass house on the beach'. Now, while I love modern architecture, I'm more into the wood/sustainable type look, but I never knock her style-- It's miles ahead of mine.

This Hollywood Hills gem built by artchitect John Lautner, blends in beautifully with it's surroundings. The use of organic materials creates a "spa" like feel throughout the house. With glass walls, you can see L.A. skyline (however miniscule) from any room. Even the bathroom!










What do you think about this home? Are you more into conventional homes, modern homes, or condos? Fill me in, kids.

Online Window Shopping: 2008 Bentley Continental GT Zagato

While online window car shopping, I ran across one of the most rediculous Bentley Continentals I have ever seen. The Bentley's exterior is beautifully remodeled, made to look like an older 1920's esque automobile. Reminds me of a what an excalibur would look like if it was made for the 2000's.








Pretty sick, eh?

2012: The Crazy Ass Movie

Yesterday, my grandma (during her daily youtube binge) bought this video to my attention: a trailer from the 2010 movie about whats 'supposed' to happen in 2012. It looks very extravagant, and the trailer is very graphically intense. Although I think it is just another illuminated ruling class scam, just like the whole Y2K thing, oh, the swine flu, and the AIDS virus. Enjoy the trailer.
