   Cute....just like you can get a traffic ticket for having
   excessive dirt on your Porsche in Huntington Beach.

   Then there's always the Long Beach area, that would be the
   Geritol city...

   Seriously, there is a small "theme-town" on the 110 (was 11)
   Freeway right near the East Torrance-Gardena area.  They have
   an Oktoberfest every year...but I can't remember the name.
