Place on the western side of Los Angeles that tries way too hard to be cool, hip, in, etc. In reality, Santa Monica consists of
yuppies and young
professionals.
Santa Monica's coolness is declining sharply as other areas in and around Los Angeles are becoming more hip.
Good luck trying to get
parking in Santa Monica, beware of the urine smell that engulfes popular areas, watch out for trash
on the beach, and give money to the
droves homeless people.
