It’s one of those winter days where you feel like you can’t stand the cold anymore, you see out the window and you feel stuck in the freezing city dreaming of the sunshine in California.
Things haven’t changed much, this happened all the time in the past. People found themselves daydreaming of the city and all the fun they could have there, instead of feeling gloomy somewhere else.
Times have changed but they weren’t wrong. California was always the place to be.
