How About 'North Of Torrance'?
-
How to help one of the most crime-ridden, notorious areas of your city become less scary and more trendy? Why, give it a nickname. That's the theory under which an L.A. politician is working when he pushes calling South L.A. "SOLA," which sounds good until you realize that in Spanish, "sola" basically means spinster, or unhappy solo woman. That will not play well on a t-shirt. Nice try, though. (Los Angeles Times)
