Surly San Pedro Pride

"LA Weekly" recently stirred up the local debate when it mentioned that San Pedro was one of surliest cities in Los Angeles. "Random Lengths" even devoted the front page of its paper in response. I say, great!! San Pedro IS a surly town and damn proud of it. San Pedro is a hard working diverse family town in the middle of a big city. What unites us is our respect for hard work, our love of family, and respecting our diverse cultures. There has been talk about San Pedro being an Italian or Croatian town. But anyone that has spent time on our ball fields or looked at a school year book can attest, we are a diverse town and damn proud of it. We love our families and we love our individual cultures, but we love Pedro to and respect our neighbors. We do have crime, but we don't have the large race based crime in greater Los Angeles. We just have the normal stupid largely poverty driven crime. And when issues arise in town, our town rises as one, not divided. We do argue about our future and the way to get there. But that is because we love the town and want what is best. Due in large part due to our diversity we have tons of opinions. Opinions are good, Pedran's are good. We are united in our respect for hard work our love of families and our love of this great town we call home.
