Or even that it's "like" Orange County. East LA is distinct from Silverlake, and Long Beach is distinct from OC. Completely and totally.

But you darn well know that any bonafied EastLosSider like yourself has been correcting cats from highland park, montebello and echo park with the whole "that aint East LA" thing at house parties and gigs since the early 90s.

Just as Lincoln Park was "Eastlake Park" before it was renamed for Lincoln. Ah, the good old days, when people still knew how to read a compass. :-) Indeed, MacArthur Park was “Westlake Park” before it was renamed for MacArthur.

One of the few claims to fame it has is to be known historically as the "Eastside". Adding Insult to injury is to discover that the very people who've been turning up their noses at us, (especially the SNOOTIEST of westsiders) now appropriate our name without even an aside. The feeling is kind of like someone pulling the chair you were sitting on out from under you while saying "Oh Buffy! Here's a chair I found that we can sit on, NOBODY was using it!"

In Brooklyn, there has always been a collective sneer at the East River, which boldly implies that Manhattan is the end of the world. Then there is <a href="http://www.magazine.org/Editorial/40-40-covers/4.jpg" rel="nofollow">the other side of the city</a> and how it perceives Los Angeles, et al. It could be worse, too.
