November's in the mayor's seat for this one, a tragic tale of one Basque gentleman founding a beautiful utopia under a freeway and on top of a rail yard, where any business could dispose as many animal corpses and batteries as they wanted. Until the world decided that the beautiful Malburg family was too pure for this Earth.
Seriously though, here is Vernon, CA.
We lose our minds a little bit this one and also Zencastr broke and also Mattie's microphone broke during recording so sorry for any audio issues!

Every time LA was mentioned I said "Los Anglis" Sam Yorty style, so thanks for the new vocal stim!

2025-12-21 20:35:20 +0000 UTCI haven't finished the episode yet so forgive me if you got to this but i'm frothing a bit. Vernon is currently doing everything it can to fuck Link-US, the project to turn Los Angeles' train station from a dead-end terminal station into a run-through station so this episode is IMMENSELY INFORMATIVE for me, a rail transportation planner who may or may not deal directly with this bullshit...

2025-02-14 04:54:24 +0000 UTCI'm reminded that Missouri has a law about Community Improvement Districts that if it has 0 population then voting rights for it fall back on the landowners, which some businesses in Columbia tried to exploit, except they fucked up by one person https://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-a-gerrymandering-attempt-20150831-column.html

2025-02-13 22:14:13 +0000 UTCTrue Detective season 2's Vinci CA is partially based on Vernon. Ritchie Coster, Villain of Jackie Chan movie The Tuxedo, played the mayor of Vinci in that season. This has led me to imagine a scene where Leonis C. Malburg turns to Bruce V. Malkenhorst saying to him "You told me you dealt with Devlin with the skateboard bomb." Fun fact, Ritchie Coster also played the thief Thomas Crown used to test the security of the Met in The Thomas Crown Affair.

2025-02-13 10:21:01 +0000 UTCThere is a german city called Lübeck. It has two cathedrals, one from the Middle Ages, one slightly newer. Next to the older one is a street called purgatory and next to it is a tiny alleyway called hell (in german of course). Vernon is this alleyway called hell to the bigger street called purgatory that is just L.A.
