During the day it's dungy. San Pedro is a neat place and could be attractive again if they fix up the waterfront. I know many people there and they don't see themselves as Los Angelinos. <br /><br />I've been tutoring at the Boys & Girls club in SP. Great organization, even attracts Hill kids.<br /><br />PalosVerdesBloggerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10089496.post-1107389888542247122005-02-02T16:18:00.000-08:002005-02-02T16:18:00.000-08:00Personally, I never got the sense that SP resident...Personally, I never got the sense that SP residents saw much benefit in the LA association. Nor are they numerous enough to get much attention - other than through the Harbor Department. I hope the City follows through with the plans to renovate the Harborfront.

Self-identiy-wise, we're faily Angeleno-ly as well. <br /><br />As far as the question of how many would remain in LA given the choice - well, they had the choice. There was a movement to separate about the same time as the Valley made its move. Pedro failed as well - likely largely because of its failure to join with the Valley and Hollywood in one big back-scratching round robin that would've likely accumulated enough votes to spring all 3 districts. <br /><br />Valley and Hollywood, however, were too busy to think strategically, however.<br /><br />I was divided on the issue - I do have a certain amount of pride in being able to say I'm from Los Angeles and mean it (unlike other independent cities' use of us for geographic purposes).cdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406284020390728464noreply@blogger.com
