Monologomous
A Los Angeles strip club owner put up a sign that reads "Vaginas'R'Us," and the locals have their panties in a knot over it. Honestly, I don't much care either way. I mean, it's a strip club. It's not like people don't already know what's on offer. The following paragraph did catch my attention, however:
Uh... HellooOO! It's LAX. The place looks like downtown Sarajevo--and always will, barring the Big One or global thermonuclear war, either of which would provide the equivalent of urban renewal. The only place in L.A. that's worse is the bus station. (Had that experience once; won't be repeating it.)
Association members argue the newest sign only reinforces a seedy image the area has worked hard to shed, and shouldn't be one of the first things visitors to Los Angeles should see after leaving the airport.

Ahhh, I will never forget my initial visit to LA. My mother forgot to pay attention to the news and drove right through the middle of a gay pride parade. There are images from that moment that will forever be seared into memory no matter how much therapy I endure--M.
On a different note...and just to show you how some things can stick with you.... I can't see the Sarajevo without immediately remembering one of my High School History teachers (Mr Allen) who would always pronounce it as Sarah-JEEEEEEEEEEE-VOH!
