Back East letters paint Southern California myths
Booster clubs ask friends to write truthfully about California, contrasting western sun tourism with high prices and overhyped climate. A reader lampoons the region from San Diego to the Golden Gate, noting grapefruits, cows, and hand made lots, while complaining of weather, land value, and local business practices.
