My stepmom from Torrance pretty commonly referred to LA as Lalaland in jest.

FWIW, it's not specific to her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_La_Land_(disambiguation) lists it as a nickname for LA, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/La-La_Land#English gives a 1958 citation in TV Guide, and it's the reason the 2016 movie "La La Land" got its name.
