I Love L.A. - Randy Newman


One of the greatest things about living in Los Angeles is its diversity in culture.  I wouldn't dream of living any place where you can't have Thai food at four a.m. or buy thirteen thousand pairs of sunglasses in all different colors for two dollars each.  It's Mediterranean climate and high profile life is what drives people in and for that, I thank the media.  As anybody living outside and around the box knows by now, exploring new parts of the world (or town) can make even your dullest day a little more worthwhile.  While driving up and down Valley St. (San Gabriel, once again!), you will find Asian culture at its best with a row of plazas filled with Oriental massage studios, eateries, candy stores, and antique furniture shops.  It's awesome!  If you are unable to read fluently in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese, you may have some trouble getting from store to store.  But despite it all, you're always in for an adventure.  This post is just on the Asian part of town, but with all of the ideas flowing through my head right now, I know I will write more segments on other fabulous parts of my hometown of EHL AY.
