Hi,
Just wanted to tell you your quote by Mrs. Parker is not actually from her. It is by her pal Alexander Woollcott, who said it first, and it actually goes that LA was: "Seven suburbs in search of a city"
Nice blog!
thanks kevin. I've actually heard multiple versions of that quote with multiple attributions, including: "Nineteen suburbs in search of a metropolis." by H.L. Mencken. so I chose the dorothy parker version, since all her bon mots are such gems. remember, if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me. :-)
