(Day 296) - L.A.’s Family Tree

Not too far from City Hall, I found this cool sign naming the numerous sister cities of Los Angeles. It made me wonder: Why do they make signs like this? How do they choose which cities go on the sign? Does L.A. get along well with her sisters? Does L.A. have to share any hand-me-downs? :D

I don't have any answers, but know that I always like to take pictures of them!

They are always interesting signs to look at and of course take photos of.

[Colleen]

LOL, I think they probably "share" something

[Kim]

Very good questions Chris! I have always wondered how they choose "Ssister Cities" too. Nice capture - wow, big family.

[Sweet Calliope]

Ha ha, love this capture Chris and all your questions!

[bkb in the city]

What a great sign. We have a few sister cities as well but no sign showing them off

Wow...LA has a lot of sisters....who's the baby? I was the 'baby' girl in our family and got lots of hand me downs!

[John Hartzell]

Great shot.

Thanks you guys for your interest in this photo and your awesome comments!

@lynnb - hmmm...I wondered who the baby was too haha. I'm an older brother of one sister so I didn't received too many hand me downs. Were you cool with getting things your older siblings had or did you want more of your 'own' things?

[❀ Lynn]

@cjphoto I was mostly ok and it was only when I was young. Once we hit puberty it didn't work...the oldest was 5'3, the middle was 5'8 and I ended at 5'5 and so sharing didn't work well, and we all bought our own clothes once we could work.

@lynnb - So eventually the oldest needed the hand me downs. haha. but i see what you mean. it nice to buy your own clothes you feel more independent.
