No doubt. A suburb is La Ca�ada Flintridge, but until recently the signs
seemed to be referring to our neighbor to the north. A�o Nuevo, up closer
to San Francisco, can be written Ano Nuevo, but that's too much like
ripping someone a new a**hole.

But my favorite is a mall called "The El Centro Center".
