(81,210 posts)and I just had to stop a minute.
Know what I saw?
I saw two young Jewish guys at one counter, joking with each other. One of 'em wore a yarmulke.
I saw a Black dad with his little kid whom he'd hoist up to sit on the counter while he completed his transaction.
I saw a mixed-race couple, and then another mixed-race couple.
I saw a Latino family, and then another Latino couple.
I saw a tall lanky light-skinned Black dude with dreadlocks.
I saw several students in a group, stocking up on snacks.
I saw two women wearing the hijab and carefully checking their shopping list.
I saw a white guy pushing his shopping cart with his kid seated in the kiddie seat, kicking her little legs like it was going out of style.
I saw a Latino dad with his little girl half-hanging off the side of his shopping cart (she was obviously hinting that she wanted up into that kiddie seat).
I saw quite a few elderly people. And lotta middle-aged people - of all colors, shapes, and postures.
I saw overweight people and short-statured people.
I saw a white woman who looked like she'd dressed for the office.
I saw another mixed-race couple and a middle-aged Anglo couple, and a middle-aged Asian couple. And another Latino family...
And it just gave my face the biggest smile.
I thought - I Love L.A. EVERYBODY's here. I live in The World.
