About 18 months ago, some east coast writers tried and failed to describe LA in the New York Times. There was much derision and scorn, but my favorite response article in the LA Times was a missive on Houston, because we are similar. |
I took two of my kids out to LA to look at schools, and we poked around the city and the colleges and some of the usual places. But, I took them to a little neighborhood place that I'd been told about in a nondescript mostly Central American emigre suburb and LA will forever mean incredible food to them.
Most cities are sprawling and have natives in some parts who have never been to others but if you find your place you're happy. My NYC focuses around Inwood, and I talk to lots of native NYers who have only a vague idea of where it is.
