This is why when I check in with friends, I apologetically say something like, “You okay? I don’t know where anything is.”
Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.

But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.
