And it's not in L.A. with Hollywood, Venice Beach, the Walk of Fame,
Disneyland, etc.? Tourists are all over the West Side. The TMZ-style buses and
vans clog traffic everywhere, shuttling loads of them around to various stars'
homes and places where various movies and TV shows were filmed.

(Hint: the streets of Dallas aren't covered in human shit, either. Not exactly
a tourist Mecca.)
