Is there something about old LA....including noirish LA....that makes for a topic that grabs ppl's interest in a way that other places don't? If so, is it the hollywood connection? The weather? Nostalgia for a place that changes more dramatically than certain other cities like in europe or in the US like chicago, SF, DC, boston do?
or is it the town's wacky cultural trends going back generations? Like bldgs shaped like food or furniture?
Or maybe the OP is more committed to his thread than other OPs of other threads are?
