These landscapes are beamed around the world.
Sold as a modern-day land of milk and honey.
Its streets are a mythical place.
Whatever you think it is, you’re wrong.
Dreams from mid-western bedrooms will not match reality.
This place will test your strength.
Reality can still be a dream.
It was for me (once upon a time).
Driving 101, the Hollywood sign, from Oklahoma to here.
There is pride to be found here.
Let it change you.
But only for the better.
Be good to each other,
Nathan
