For the most part, San Pedro still fits its ancient reputation as a hardscrabble, blue-collar port city. We took a spin through San Pedro early last month and really enjoyed the place. A particular highlight was the window display at Williams Book Store. Any establishment that gives the patron saint of late-blooming problem drinkers with literary talent a place of honor is alright by the Fake Angeleno.

San Pedro is very proud of Bukowski. Mostly because nobody from Pedro amounts to very much and to have any kind of celebrity even just pick our town cause maybe he thought it was a nice place to die is an honor. Speaking as a person who was born and raised there. Love your blog, by the way. Very nice.
