In the City....

The City of Compton. (That's a song in head for ABBA).

Tonight while driving home from Alpine Village in Torrance (where we had fantastic German food - schnitzel and beef goulash and celebrated Art's birthday), I was just settling in for a nice car nap when we saw that the freeway was closed in both directions in Compton. Our only option was to exit the freeway in Compton (something that my now husband and father in law screamed at me for doing when I was a 21 year old geographically challenged girl driving home from her boyfriend's house) and make a u-turn to take a detour. If you're local, the 91 was closed in both directions so we took the 110 to the 105.

The really bad picture is of the Welcome to Compton sign. We were off the freeway for about 30 seconds before we were back on the on ramp. This is the best I could do without spending more time there than needed.

Nap time!

The next sign we see: "Welcome to Florence and Normandy...the intersection where Reginald Denny was beat half to death in 1992"
