EM: What neighborhood do you closely identify with?  What makes your community so unique?
Redondo Beach / South Bay.  I don’t know if I will ever be able to leave this place.  Its just close enough to LA that I can be there in 20 min, Hollywood in 30 or just about anywhere in a short time.  Close enough, but NOT IN LA.  Don’t get me wrong- I like the hustle and bustle of the city, but only in small doses.

I looooovvveee LA!  All of LA:  Hollywood, Inglewood lol.  My fav is Santa Monica Beach.  LA is so unique because it has so many facets:  Downtown (LA’s New York City), Malibu (LA’s Hawaii), and nowhere else can you find Hollywood!!!
