No doubt. A suburb is La Caņada Flintridge, but until recently the signs
seemed to be referring to our neighbor to the north. Aņo Nuevo, up closer
to San Francisco, can be written Ano Nuevo, but that's too much like
ripping someone a new a**hole.

But my favorite is a mall called "The El Centro Center".
