John Darnielle Quotes

People Were Always Saying How Ugly Southern California Was, Especially When They Came Back From Their Summer Vacations. They Said It Looked Plastic Or Fake Or Whatever, And Talked About All The Cool Things They Saw In Ohio, Where Their Grandparents Lived. Or In Pennsylvania. The Wall Behind The Arcade Was Made Of Giant Sparkling White Bricks, Just Like All The Other Buildings Connected To It. There Was Graffiti On It, Indecipherable Gang Writing. It Was Dark Now And Getting A Little Cold And Then The Super-bright Lights They Have Behind Stores To Keep Bums From Sleeping By The Dumpsters Came On, And I Thought, People Who Don't Think Southern California Is The Most Beautiful Place In The World Are Idiots And I Hope They Choke On Their Tongues.
