Mainly because we mix and match in this town. We are old Hollywood Chasens and new Hollywood In-n-Out Burger. Or Fatburger. Or Carl's Jr. People from Beverly Hills will stand in line at Costo and talk with people who live in Compton. We are Cambodian donuts and Thai Elvis and Canter's roast beef and Spanish Hacienda and purple stucco with bars on the windows. Within 10 minutes of each other.

We are the Korean shopkeeper with the Illegal Mexican gardner who cheers for the Dodgers and lives in Santa Monica next door to the guy who sold his script to the guy in Bel Air who went to school at Long Beach Poly Tech with the daughter of the guy who won an Oscar for inventing a camera lens.

Capiche? (Which, BTW, we don't say. Unless we're from New York.)
This post makes no sense whatsoever.

That's quite a successful and wealthy "illegal gardner" who can afford to live in Santa Monica...

Carls Jr. people from Beverly Hills?.....

Just total nonsense.

Beverly Hills=Upper East Side
Can't think of many others. BUT, their neighbors can be compared. New Jersey and Orange County-both like to pretend they are in LA/NYC, but they really aren't. They're more bland, suburban and trashy, and other than using their beaches, LA/NYC looks down upon them.

Does that help?

I think Brooklyn should be K-Town, atleast that's what I heard. Someone once called it "Brooklyn with palm trees".

Sentence structure could be better, but it makes sense.
