San Pedro Exceptionalism

I just read the January version of "San Pedro Today". There is definitely alot of enthusiasm over Joe Buscaino's win in the LA City's 15th district race. It is great that another local person makes the LA City big time. And it is good that we bring a fresh face to politics. I like many others are excited about our town's future. But I like our chances moving forward NOT because we have a new elected official. I am optimistic because of our great civic pride and the "Do It Ourselves" attitude. It is great organizations like Eastview Little League, the San Pedro Softball Association, the skate park under the freeway, the "Clean San Pedro" crew, the San Pedro Boy's and Girl's club, and many many more that do not rely on the government. These organizations work to make our town better despite the government and should be soluted. It is our "San Pedro Exceptionalism" that should have been listed in the "San Pedro Today" paper. We have Pedro Pride. Pedro Exceptionalism is one of the things that makes us so proud.
