There are some (many) stereotypes about Los Angeles that are true.

Don’t get me wrong, I love it here and defend LA the same way I used to defend New York City to anyone who tried to talk shit (pre Giuliani), but a stereotype is a stereotype. This week “people can’t drive in Los Angeles in the rain” holds true. Traffic, accidents and 15 miles per hour describe this week, and yeah, it’s been raining every day for a week now, but why does rain make the freeway traffic STOP?!

OK, now you can tell me about bagels and pizza.
