re: New York or Los Angeles?

quote:

---

No one who lives in the Valley thinks of it as "Los Angeles", even though it's officially LA city limits. The various parts of the Valley were their own little towns for quite awhile before LA annexed the entire area, and to this day they still use those names.


I know the history, but it never seemed right with me when people said they were from Sherman Oaks/Woodland Hills/Encino/Van Nuys..etc...,California. Its very confusing..

when someone from LA asks me where I'm from/where i live, i tell them sherman oaks or the valley. When someone from out of town asks me the same question, i say Los Angeles.
