RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’ve passed by this ‘sea’, a multitude of enterprising resorts decaying in the quiet sun. This time capsule of the 1960s smells like death, and its strangely yellow dust is concerning even if you didn’t know how much fertilizer runoff was dumped in there by surrounding date farms.

If a person IS strangely into all of that stuff then I actually recommend the annual Fallout New Vegas festival they hold in Goodsprings Nevada, instead.

It’s got strongly developed post apocalypse vibes. You can pull down just about any street and be like “I should not be here…”

Now I want to visit. I mean, there should be 1000 and 1 reason to visit USA and California in particular, but that’s the first one which really gives a feeling.

You’d also like the 3rd largest city in California, California City. Both are portraits of a generation that could afford to dream big and avoid financial ruin.

Bakersfield, if you want to find life hanging on a bit better than some of the inland counties. California has a lot of strange feelings if you take the time to look in the right corners.
A desert megacity next to the sea? Los Angeles. Incredibly posh people surrounded by the destitute? Newport beach in orange county. A slow-motion wave of impenetrable fog gently creating the mountains around it? San Francisco.
This state has a lot more to it than TV and movies let on.
