Torrance in California

Yo, Im standing right here in Torrance, California population 148,495 in 2014, which is like, Oh, were just a little over a hundred thousand, but we got our own ZIP code and a whole lot of traffic. You think thats a big deal? Im telling you, its like a small town that just forgot to grow up. Weve got houses that look like theyre from the 50s, but the cars? Oh, those are from the 00s. I saw a red truck parked under a tree like it was trying to hide from the sun, which is basically what we all do were just trying to survive the Southern California heat. Trees? We got trees. Theyre like our neighbors tall, shady, and always there to keep us cool. Ive walked down this street, and I swear, the houses look like theyre holding their breath. Maybe thats because were all just waiting for the next big thing to happen like, a taco truck or a new freeway because honestly, weve got nothing else to do. But hey, if youre here, youre part of the story. Were not flashy, were not loud, but were definitely alive and were living it, one tree and one trash can at a time.
