Natives are Restless (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The native of southern California-whom the author calls a "e;Procal"e;-inhabits the area of Los Angeles and its environs. He came to California because he was tired of something-usually cold weather-and he has become the most hobby- and leisure-conscious citizen in the U.S., devoted as he is to his barbecue, his swimming pool, his beaches, his deserts and his television set. Cynthia Hobart Lindsay describes a long list of Procal habits and habitats: his outrageous driving-which seems to be the most marked manifestation of his "e;restlessness"e;; the Sunset Strip which is frequented by the closest thing to a southern California beatnik; Hollywood parties; the penchant for the occult; Forest Lawn Cemetery-which also serves the community as an artistic and cultural center; the out-of-bounds areas-notably Pasadena; and the most recent complexity-the Dodgers.Presented with laughter, lifted eyebrows and affection, here is a wide-screen report on the Never-Never Land of Southern California, packed with bizarre but authentic historical, sociological and psychological facts and anecdotes.
