Apparently the (official) boundaries are in the 50s, so I’m gonna do the un redditor thing and say that you’ve corrected an LA native haha. I swear I remember seeing 90 somewhere.
Oh and the official name is actually the Toy District. Though you’ll never hear anyone call it that lmao. Skid row.

Reply to comment by RockItGuyDC in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

Reply to comment by TheRepublicAct in TIL at the end of the Top Gear US Special after arriving in New Orleans, the hosts gave their cars away instead of selling them as originally planned after seeing the damage from Hurricane Katrina by PrettyPinkPonyPrince
I had an extremely abusive ex that treated me like a dog last year.
Final straw was when she tried to feed me unseasoned casserole with no stuffing on Thanksgiving.
Finally worked up the courage to stand up for myself finally and get rid of her.
