Every time I ever hear El Segundo I think about Fred Sanford from Sanford and Son talking about it.

Too many youngsters on here don't recognize that reference
Fred was the first thing I thought of when I saw El Segundo

I worked on a project there about 15 years ago. Loved the area. Was offered a job but couldn't afford to live close to the refinery. Didn't want to travel over an hour each way.

Yes, it's California, but there are some good dudes in El Segundo and it's pretty dang white and conservative for being LA County.
I remember it being that way in the 80s when last I was there. Had two uncles that lived in El Segundo. The air traffic over their houses was insane. We actually lived exactly three miles from the Redondo Beach pier.
As an interesting aside and anecdote, my dad actually knew Chuck Norris from back when he opened his very first dojo on Anza.
