14th St in Manhattan Beach.
I was standing there in gobsmacked mode when a young Flossie with an
ankle-biter in the pushchair stopped and said “Grim, isn’t it? My Dad
swore he saw the Pope on the balcony last week”

Reminds me of Southern Belle Diane (from Atlanta by way of NY) visiting and – on seeing a garishly decorated house – “Oh, I see you have Puerto Ricans here too..”
