LA used to have a punk coffeehouse called Jabberjaw. It was around from 1992 to 1996.

I've been to LA and SF just once, in 1985. Would like to go back someday.

I spent 3 glorious weeks in SF in 93.

Passed thru LA in 06 and 08. Liked a lot of what little I saw, to my surprise (I didn't expect to like it at all).

Was it decorated in 70s kitsch?

I read a comment on YouTube from a kid who said he thought the old '60s Archie cartoons were based on Jabberjaw. I let them know they had it bass ackwards.

Ooo! an intentional spoonerism.

A cunning array of stunts indeed.

My favorite Houston spoonerism is our inner beltway, which becomes the Licks Ten Soup.

I've never been to LA--one of the major US cities I've not visited thus far.

Part of me wonders if I'll hate it, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

However, I am working with someone right now that could become a potential client that lives in LA. If that works out, I'll get to visit at least once a year.

not knowing the real name takes away some of the punch.

I had a ball the last time I was there. Of course, my traveling companions were awesome, which had a lot to do with it.

We did drive briefly through the Hollywood Hills, which was fun despite the blazing heat (and feeble air conditioning). What I mostly remember was the large amount of sea thrift blooming along a lot of the roadways, and being jealous because I can't get it to grow where I live. <--- gardening geek is geeky.

That would be the 610 Loop. Sorry.

I figured it out.

Of course you did.

The 610 Loop is sort of the dividing line between "inner" and "outer" Houston, although the distinction has lessened in recent years. My condo is just outside the Loop, mostly because I couldn't afford to buy inside.

so you're 'out of the loop,' then...

convenient excuse, if you ask me.

I thought it was a reference to Lipton Soup.

I am more of a Campbell's Soup guy.

I prefer Progresso, but it's kind of expensive.

most canned soups are crap.

When you use a canned soup, you really need to pump things up with some fresh spices and stuff.
