(Not So) Foreign Customs
While enjoying the view of sky and water in the
mild sunshine, was corrected by a neighbor to the
“local” pronunciation of area landmarks. People
in the know would know in a nanosecond I was a
tourist, she said. Horrors.
Was amused, because we are all part of the same
city, no?
472 square miles is a lot of geography, but
we’re all L.A. Right? It’s not like I moved
to another region, like Texas.
As she returned from walking her dog, I
facetiously thanked her for the corrections
and for turning me into a native.
She snorted.
“You’ve got a long way to go before you get
there,” she said.
WTF is that?
