“I remember when people used to correct someone for saying LA instead of Los Angeles.”
Where? In Tulare County there wasn’t a strong love with L.A. as they used to come into the hills and their hunters would shoot about anything in sight to include a lot of dairy cows. And their lack of caring was inviting thousands of illegals into the valley to work for the UFW and create a lot of problems for the agricultural community. They also sucked a lot of water out of the valley and north that could have been used for agriculture and caused a lot of drought problems in the farm and ranching community. It now has effected Lake Mead, Glenn Canyon Lake Powell, and is still cutting off water from the valley so they can water their plants. Like I said, no love lost there. (And we called them other things, also that can’t be printed here)

In LA and San Diego in the 1960s and 70s, it seemed to fade out as the years passed and immigration increased.
