You're cruising down Beverly or Santa Monica Blvd, minding your own business, when all of sudden WHAM, you realize you're surrounded by smug rich white people. (Smug, rich, white, and straight, if it's Santa Monica Blvd you've been traveling on.) What could possibly be going on? You my friend, have entered the Westside Zone. (dee-dee-doo-doo-dee-dee-doo-doo)
Oh, and I think the Times' map is pretty darn accurate. People in Santa Monica who want to exclude themselves can, frankly, go soak their heads.
