I Love L.A: By Garrison Keillor
It used to be that Los Angelenos were much too cool to express outright pride in their city, feeling that boosterism is for yahoos from the Midwest, but when I was there last week I got an earful about what a good place it is from friends who never said anything like that to me before….
To that I say, fuck “Crash” (not the Cronenberg one).
