A Note on ZIP Codes

In Los Angeles, you can often tell a lot about someone by the ZIP code in which they reside and/or work. We place a lot of importance on this - postal codes are now an extension of vanity and status.

For instance: the most widely recognized LA-area ZIP code is 90210. Known most for the television show, "Beverly Hills, 90210," it's synonymous with wealth. Oh, the plight of rich teenagers!

Far fewer people, however, know that one of the ZIP codes in West Hollywood is 90069.

69!

That's funny. I feel strongly that the connection commonly made between homosexuality and sexual activity is inappropriate and unacceptable. But, 69? That's just damn funny.
