Countless times I have met somebody in Los Angeles and the same question is asked of me.  “Where are you from originally?”  These people are always shocked to hear that I’m an LA native.  Not only am I an LA native but rather one who has lived his entire life in Hollywood.  So many people have moved to Los Angeles for various reasons, be it school, work, the sun or show business that these folks surround themselves with other transplants.

Today for example I had a meeting with a young college student who wanted to interview me for her college paper and the first thing she said was “Thank you for being on time.”  She being an LA native as well, was on time.  I don’t like to be late.  Neither does she.  We concluded that Los Angelenos are not the cause of that stereotype but rather the people from Florida, Missouri and New Jersey, the people from Boca Raton, Lee Summit and Newark, the people from The Windy City, Big Apple and The Big Easy who are always late and give us Angelenos a bad reputation.

This blog will focus on a great many things.  The squashing of Angeleno Stereotypes, event announcements, tales from my world, locals only secrets may be divulged, non touristy hang outs will be, local politics, travels, family and friends to name a few. I’m sure this blog will evolve and morph as time goes by as I’m sure my readership will too.

I hope you will all enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing.

My name is Alfredo A. Hernandez and I am an LA Native.
