isn't that an upper class area of Los Angeles (or Tehrangeles)?
and we cannot forget Upper Falluja in Detroit
Teherangeles is actually a nice bit of West Los Angeles. Although not marked on a map, it's in an arc extending from to about 3-4 miles
to the west and south of UCLA.
A few years back when Iran beat the USA in soccer, they had a peaceful party
that shut down a major street (Westwood). Westwood is the north-south street
that come straight out of the UCLA campus; the mile or two between Wilshire
Blvd and Sunset Blvd has plenty of food shops, book stores and restaurants with
signs in English and Farsi.
By and large, I think the Muslims there are old friends of The Shah, not
fundamentalist wackos. And are doing well by hard work and/or the gold
they brought from Iran.
IIRC, Catherine Bell of "JAG" was a Tehrangeles resident and UCLA student.
