So what?, I’ll be writing for them occasionally, but will continue my blog here. I think it’s important to maintain your own identity when you get married/get a boyfriend.

That’s kind of my point, That’s Way Off. I should have included the title of the article: East L.A. wants to be its own city. I’m saying that to call yourself east west north or south is kind of ridiculous. My suggestion for the new city? We Hate LA.

So what if she’s geographically-challenged?

Donna’s going off to write for Mayor Sam now. So she doesn’t really need to know anything about anything.

You should re-read the article you cited:
“Commonly mistaken for a part of Los Angeles, East L.A. is actually an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County, with more than 130,000 people — 96 percent of them Latino — packed into 7.4 square miles.”

East Los Angeles, or at least the portion considering incorporation, is not part of the City of LA, and never has been. It is East of Boyle Heights, West of Montebello and Monterey Park. If you are geographically challenged, suffice it to say that it is not anywhere near where you live.
