well, this is Lakewood, which is a small, independent and very traditionally American city on the edge of LA county - we are one of the only cities in the area that allows fireworks on the fourth of July, and it's glorious. a lot of vets, a lot of flags... there's a guy who drives an old WWII era army jeep with the the machine gun still mounted on the back and a giant American flag. Lakewood is comfy.
There is a rotten core with our leadership, the media, and Hollywood, but the people of LA County, the cityscape and economy here are actually pretty great.
This challenges my perception that only shitty things come out of la county...and I'm ok with that.
Such a good story! Happy Birthday LT!

The rest of LA county has fireworks on the 4th in an equally American way: in open defiance of unjust laws.
haha you right about that - "bombs bursting in air" throughout the southland in the week or two leading up to the 4th...
