Ok, strange thread title, but I didn't really know how to make it more concise.

Here's what I'm trying to say - are there neighborhoods or parts of your city that not only defy regional normals, but would shock/surprise visitors or outsiders who never would think that neighborhood would be part of your city? I'll give you an example.

Please think of Los Angeles as mainly this:

But would they know many parts of Los Angeles can look like this?

South Pasadena - looks way more East Coast and non-SoCal - many homes are craftsman/victorian wooden - not the SoCal typical house with stucco and tile roofs.

Downtown LA density and historic architecture often blows people not from here away - they claim it looks much more like an east coast city and not really the Mediterranean paradise they envisioned.

I know there are tons more areas of LA that are unique and not what people think of regarding
SoCal" so I'll think of more later.
