LA: Famously Segregated or Segregatedly Famous?
In today's new from Los Angeles, MSNBC gives us the top 15 places to spot celebs. Celebrities, it turns out, can be spotted wherever money can be found. This fact is neither here nor there. You could go to the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Skybar at the Schragerific Mondrian Hotel (pictured) or Chateau Marmont. You can stake out a spot at the Laurel Canyon dog parl or the Rexall Drugs on Beverly Boulevard but who really wants to confront the "Should I Say Hi?" dilemma. The answer is always no and will leave you in deep regretful brooding, either one you choose. No what's more interesting is who you won't find at these 15 spots. The answer? The Poor. A recent study confirmed LA as the United States' most segregated city. The study, carried out by Wayne State scientists found that "more than two-thirds of L.A.-area residents live in neighborhoods that are solidly rich or poor." This is, according to the article, in part due to the large number of unskilled immigrants one the one hand and the uberrich Hollywooders on the other. I'm not sure, but if you catch Clooney over at the Chateau, why don't you ask him?
