Do you ever find your self wondering why there are very few Filipino’s in the historic Filipinotown, or what the heck does West L.A. or Mid City actually consist of? Don’t fret, these are all terms and questions that even native Angelenos still ponder. Neighborhood districting (and naming for that matter) is anything but easy to interpret. Luckily, LA Weekly published a list of the ten most confusing neighborhoods complete with maps and street names to help you get your bearings in some of the unfamiliar territory.
