They graffiti in LA show what Los Angeles is all about and based on my personal experience each time I go to LA I know its a place to have fun.

The Great Depression was the longest economic depression in the Western world. It occurred from 1929-1939 but still wasn’t totally resolved until the beginning of WWII. The Great Depression began when on October 24, 1929 or “Black Thursday” investors began selling all of their shares. This continued until October 29 or “Black Tuesday”.

Perception is subjective. Different perceptions come from internal or external influences that make us interpret an object in many ways.
