Smog & Mirrors is a critique on the great (and sometimes not so great) city of Los Angeles told from the perspective of a twenty something Angeleno who has lived here way too long. Smog & Mirrors, the title, is a metaphor for L.A. This blog focuses on some of the fabulous things LA is known for: Hollywood, nightlife, shopping; as well as some of the unfabulous things that LA is known for: traffic, expensive housing, high gas prices, and of course ...the smog. Welcome to Smog & Mirrors.
