Los Angeles county: Home to the land of “fruits and nuts” as my father and other Midwesterners commonly joke. When I initially made the cross country trek from MI to LA, I settled into a job at the grand ‘ol intersection of Hollywood and Vine, which served as a daily reminder of my father’s affectionate nickname for my new city. Once settled in, I began to realize that these daily eccentricities go hand in hand with living in Tinsel Town and it became refreshing to encounter a daily dose of flair. For those that find themselves in the position of being able to walk the streets of Hollywood Blvd, this is an easy task to accomplish. Once you drive a bit into the suburbs, it becomes more of a game of Where’s Waldo, however…unless of course, you know where to look.
