Hey, I’ve only been there twice. I was teasing more than anything....maybe....a little.
Anyway, you’ll know you’re not in the Midwest pretty quickly. Let’s say many people go to great lengths to “express themselves”. You may meet the nicest girls ever in a cookie store, then step out the door to see a dude who looks like “Sideshow Bob” with a bone through his nose, screaming at happy blue walruses that only he can see.
The healthiest looking people in the world will be jogging in spandex, being especially courteous to go around the people laying in the sidewalk, gacked out on heroin.
It’s interesting...if nothing else.
Had along conversation with a guy wearing a leather kilt once...but that was in Portland.
