Hailey's Novel Diary – 7/20/17

About 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles, just west of Santa Barbara, is the small town of Solvang. I have never been there, but it's supposed to be a popular place to go Danish. The city, built as a Danish community, is famous for Danish cookies and pastries. It sounds like a tourist trap, but a few thousand people live there.

The funny thing is, if you talk to anyone who lives in Los Angeles, they have been there. It's like asking people in New Jersey if they have ever been to New York. Except Solvang is a million times smaller and not the cultural, artistic and financial center of the country. But everyone goes there, either as a separate trip or on their way up the coast.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
