The joys of living in L.A., which is not Los Angeles

Re “Establishing Shot: Los Angeles, CA” [May 5], by Kenneth Turan: Thom Andersen,

director of “Los Angeles Plays

Itself,” says that only a city

with an inferiority complex would allow itself to be called “L.A.”

Rubbish.

L.A. is about living a sovereign life. “Los Angeles” cares what the stuffed shirts on the Old Coast think about it. “L.A.” doesn’t give a damn what anybody thinks about it.
