You made me think of an old Missing Persons song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_UpLtGEWoY
You won’t see a cop walking on the beat
You only see them driving cars out in the street
You won’t see kids walking home from school
Their mothers pick them up in a car pool
Walking in L.A.- Walking in L.A.
Nobody walks in L.A.
Great song.
I think of neighbor so many years ago.
Turns out she had come from somewhere in the mid-West thinking it would be great living in LA. unfortunately no one told her that you can’t live here without a car.
The poor girl was stuck at home everyday! Nothing to do but watch TV. No life!
And, to increase her ignorance she heard a long, “It never rains in Southern California”. Yeah, we’re having a drought and no rain ... but most years, it rains. When it rains in Lo Angeles, the rain comes down strong!!! Lots of rain. And it goes o for days.
Poor girl, she probably still lives in the mid-west. Not a bad thing at all.
