Why Odd Thoughts from LBC?

Do you know many Christian, C.S. Lewis-reading, sports-loving, urban church-planting, New Yorker aficionados in Long Beach, California? Holla if you do, because I'd like to meet them if their last names aren't Sato or Teter. (Bonus points if they like Wim Wenders, John McPhee, Fantastic Burger, and the works of Katherine Paterson.)

Once upon a time, in an op-ed writing class at USC, I asked a question of a local writer and NPR correspondent. I don't remember the exact words, but it was something about living in South L.A. and writing from my perspective as an Asian Christian. Her answer: "Who knew?"

Well, I don't know who knew what, and when they knew it, but I'm planning to write and see what happens.
