You Should Look Up Your Home City On Wikipedia

Los Angeles - Wikipedia

I've been reading this and it's been giving me anxiety, Its hard to describe but I feel alot of "immensity" especially the "history" section of the article.

Knowledge frightens you?

Which “home city?” The one where I was born? The one where I grew up? The one where I lived for 25 years? The one where I live now?

I spent most of my life “on the road, rarely living in one place more than 3-4 years. I’ve never really identified anyplace as my “home town.”

I’ve never really identified anyplace as my “home town.”

This was the first place I moved when I went out on my own. Even though I didn't "grow up" here, it still kinda feels like my home town. Some of the best years of my life were in Havre de Grace. When I moved in, it was a kind of down and out blue collar town. It's gotten a bit gentrified since then, and a lot of the fun waterfront to explore has been built on, but it's still a cool town. The place I lived in was built in 1820, so not long after the town was leveled by the British. Sweet location too. Due to the peculiarities of roads, I was right in town, could see all the way down main st, but didn't get annoying traffic. I could walk to anything I wanted. It was especially sweet for July 4 fireworks. I could walk down to the waterfront park, or canoe out in the river, watch fireworks, and get home easy peasy, while everyone else was sitting in traffic trying to get out of town. Loved it there :^)

The history bit of my local city starts ...

"The capital of the Iceni tribe was a settlement located near to the village of Caistor St Edmund on the River Tas about 5 mi (8 km) to the south of modern Norwich.[10] After an uprising led by Boudica in about 60 CE, the Caistor area became the Roman capital of East Anglia named Venta Icenorum, literally "marketplace of the Iceni".[10] This fell into disuse about 450 CE."

I guess the two most famous figures associated with Norwich are Boudicca and Alan Partridge. Clearly the place has experienced some changes over the centuries.

It's probably better if I don't know. I'm pretty sure the town was founded by Satanists.

Of course, on the other hand . . . .

Never lived there but I hear "LA's fine the sun shines most the time, the feeling is lay back."

Palm trees grow and rents are [NO LONGER] low

According to Wikipedia the earliest known village in Los Angeles was called "Yaanga", and 10 months ago a park was named after it.

I plan on visiting.
