To say Los Angeles is multi-faceted is an understatement. As an LA City Nerd, I have the privilege of sharing with you some of the nuances that make this City, well, LA. Whether good or bad, that's for you to decide. I'm not the ultimate expert on all things LA, but I know enough to be considered a City Nerd.

Flooding L.A.
With posts over at blogging.la about flood maps, I thought I'd share this little site the City has that shows the City's flood maps. How safe are you? (There are also links for more safety and services related to flooding).
I went to the flood-plain site, and, in addition to the fact it would not work with Mac Safari, I was surprised to be greeted with a page requesting "the purpose of my visit." And I couldn't enter without telling Big Brother!
That's funny, I thought public information was open to the public without any restrictions. Hmmm.
