Odd question for anyone who's been to LA

Someone who visited said to me that it smelt gorgeous, because of all the plants and flowers etc, but when I read up on it it's a real mixture - some say absolutely lovely, like orange and jasmine and salty air and hot dogs, and then others saying the whole place stinks to high heaven, especially Santa Monica beach!

If anyone HAS been to LA and they remember a part of it that had a permanent, lovely smell, where was that and can you describe it please? Thank you so much xxx

The first and overiding memory of SF for me was arriving at our hotel at 5am and there were two people blatantly shitting on the pavement just to the side of the door.

Don't know about LA but most of SF stinks, as soon as you get to the piers it's all fishy sea lion smell.

I’ve only been to SF once and have no desire to return. It was quite a long time ago and I didn’t experience anything like you did but there was just something about the place that I didn’t like and I can’t put my finger on what it was.

in SF the smell that got me was the thrown away chowder that looked like puke as well

Well six weeks ago the prevalent smell at Venice Beach was definitely weed!
