A Google search of the phrase “South Bay” returns more than 117,000,000 hits, which begs the question: What, then, makes ours so special?
Maybe it’s because ours was namedropped in various Beach Boys’ songs or can be seen in hundreds of Hollywood productions including “The O.C.,” Point Break, “Beverly Hills 90210,” Jerry Maguire and “C.S.I. Miami.” Or maybe it’s because ours is the birthplace of pro beach volleyball, the training grounds for the Lakers, Kings and Sparks, a Mecca to surfers and a haven for horseback riding and biking. Or perhaps it’s our winning combination of fantastic weather, natural beauty, cultural diversity and urban conveniences.
We’re sure those other South Bays have their own list of positives, but we’d be lying if we didn’t say we think ours is the best. Sure we’re biased, but that doesn’t mean we’re wrong.
