rebecca eckler has asked me about suburban LA. turns out we are both big "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fans, and, well, being from canada and all, she is a little far from southern cal in all its glory. here is my response to her:i live in a suburb of L.A., but it's a good place, not like one of those scary suburbs, not like the ones in neghboring orange county. nope.
I live in suburban LA county, a little different from suburban LA, but my town (Claremont) is known to some as the poor man's westwood (Westwood is a town where a lot of movies and TV series are shot, including "Curb Your Enthusiasm".)
we actually have a little bit of character, a little bit of route 66, a little bit of ghetto, a little bit of academia, a little bit of open space, and a little bit of a music scene. amazing, right?
but don't tell anyone, we are trying to keep it a secret...

Claremont is also known as "Clareville" for its idyllic setting (lots of old growth trees, older homes and a walking village commercial area). Like many college towns, you have townies. Once you are a townie, you get to know a fair amount of people. That is why our city motto is: "Yeah, I know that person."
