this is my psa that the events of man city take place in london and not manchester (which is confusing but true). i have read many fics that write the team driving to manchester but then playing at wembley. wembley is in london. thank you for listening.

Who knew that everybody from Central America was Mexican? Gosh golly gee I guess I am retarded, racist and hate children! Jesus christ, no wonder you're blocking everybody who interacted with this post, your brain stem must've been damaged by all that lethal tear gas your parents forced you to deal with.

If you're gonna be mad at somebody (which seems to be in your wheelhouse) maybe you should be mad at whoever is convincing these people to try to just walk right in to a country without open immigration.

P.S. Abortions hurt children too, btw

“look to the right and I see the hollywood sign”

welcome back to south detroit. today we follow miley cyrus into a cab in 2009.

“party in the usa” takes place on the first day miley cyrus ever spent in los angeles, in a cab ride from LAX to “the club.” we immediately have problems, as miley’s likely first time in los angeles was in 2003 for the hannah montana auditions, when she was 11 years old and almost certainly not traveling alone.

but. placing ourselves in a fictional first visit to los angeles as a sixteen year old, which miley was at the time of the song’s release in 2009, we still have problems.

one of the maplords is from los angeles and can speak from experience: there are very few all ages nightclubs in los angeles. within the narrative of the song, fictional “first time in LA” miley would not be famous enough for bouncers to overlook the fact that she is underage. therefore, we have a very short list of potential destinations for her cab ride.

here is a map with LAX and the hollywood sign marked in blue and five all ages venues (left to right: whisky a go go, the troubador, amplyfi, pehrspace, and the smell) marked in red. it is worth mentioning that these are all predominantly rock clubs, and not the kind of places where all you see is stilettos. those clubs exist, but miley doesn’t mention having a fake.

you will notice that LAX is in southwest of all these locations. the hollywood sign, if visible at all on the drive, will either be on the left side of the cab or directly ahead of it.

there is no route from LAX to any all ages venue in los angeles where the hollywood sign is visible on the right hand side of the vehicle. unless miley is young enough to still be in a rear-facing carseat in the narration of this song, this did not occur.
