Been to LA a couple times. Never stuck around long. Too loud and expensive.

[Bread lines all around the blocks for a long time, and even though the worst of that is past, he'll always mistrust big cities to some extent.]

Sacramento ain't too bad. Last place I hit was Soledad.

[The place name tastes bad on his tongue, like gin and ash, and he'd love it if the waitress would come back with his drink.]

What'd you do in LA?
