On this day in 1781, colonists from Spain founded a settlement in southern California which they named El Pueblo Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula. The name was later shortened to Los Angeles, or better known "LA".
Now, I don't particularly love LA, nor do I particularly like it. And we won't go into the tragic history of it. But, for obvious reasons (well, obvious to those that *personally* know me) I just had to post this.
