I never said he works in San Pedro. He used to work for the city out of the Parker Center annex. He moved to the LA Sheriffs department and works out of Marina Del Rey/Venice now. Everyone that lives in Ventura or Los Angeles county commutes somewhere.
I have another neighbor who does CGI for the studios and commutes. Another one that does graphics for Easy Rider magazine and commutes. Im not even sure where their headquarters are.
When my brother worked for Hershey in Los Angeles he commuted from Bakersfield.
Everyone commutes.
Speaking of Parker Center, I was young and met Chief Parker in an elevator at Parker Center before it was Parker Center. He took us up to his office on the 8th floor or top floor if I recall, and we sat there and talked, he asked us about ourselves and then started showing us memorabilia he came across over his time. He pointed at the name plate on his desk with his name shown with “Los Angles Police Department” underneath. He got it from some country who’s dignitaries had visited LA, I don’t recall which country, but they’d spelled Los Angeles wrong. I’ll still remember him pointing at it with a big smile.
