Only in LA...

For the next 10 glorious days I will be in sunny southern California, spending my time in Los Angeles and San Diego and everywhere in between. In honor of this trip, I've resurrected an old list I made some time last year about all the crazy things you see and do only in Los Angeles. Here are a few of the unique quirks about the city that I could think of off the top of my head. If you happen to live in La Leezy or have any fun stereotypes or generalizations you make about other people that live here, please add them to the list! All in good fun....
