As someone who is a native of Los Angeles, and spent many childhood drives on La Cienega, I love this story. I had to look up the character -- looks like it was an animated series called The Proud Family that ran on Disney in the early 00s, and was created by an LA native.

Growing up in LA I could see a lot of influences from my local area in media (and in the 80s a lot of stuff was filmed in LA too so I'd literally see local spots in movies). But it never occurred to me that the LA inside jokes wouldn't really be inside jokes to people outside of LA.
