Review of Compton, California


Beautiful Suburb, full of opportunity!
Star Rating - 8/11/2006
Compton is a beautiful suburb of Los Angeles. An abundent amount of real live movie clips, swap meets and bazaars, and entertainment venues. A lot of young people and middle aged people are already retired in this city. It practices diversity, and preaches integration. Casing point. I did 12 years in Pelican Bay. After my release, I now call Compton home. There is a reason why rappers (RIP: 2 Pac, Eazy E, Biggie Smalls, etc) call this place home.It gives you an opportunity to improve your lifestyle, even with a criminal record. I think the motto for the city is "The longer your rap sheet, the better your future in Compton". Unfortunatly, if your not in a gang you won't progress to much here, so you might want to try Riverside. Well, I need to get going, or they will revoke my parole. Besides, my 30 minute time on this libray computer is up! God bless Compton!

This is the best review of Compton I have ever seen! Kudos to the author. My best friend warned me against booking a hotel in Compton a few years ago, and I innocently wondered why. Too much!

Why, it so refreshing to read an unbiased and balanced review of beautiful Compton instead of the negativity people seem to put up. As a young man just starting out in the retail recreational drug trade, Compton is indeed a land of opportunity. Further opportunities abound in careers such as break-and-enter specialist, sex trade worker and race riot organizer. Where else in LA is there "one-stop-shopping" for all of the above, with competitive pricing?
