Street Walker - or Driver (This Is L.A. After All)

Well, one of the first things I ordered in preparation for my move to Los Angeles arrived yesterday: The Thomas Guide Los Angeles County Street Guide, 2007 edition.

I normally wouldn't buy a street guide, since there's a thousand on-line direction giver sites, but L.A. is just so freakin' big, it helps to have maps in the car. A girlfriend of mine told me she spent her first year of driving in L.A. with this book on her lap. Which explains a lot about L.A. drivers, but I digress.

The best part of this book is that it divides the city by zip code AND lists neighborhood names, so I'll be able to narrow my apartment search more effectively, and be able to find out right where a potential job may be located. Phew.
