I live about a 2 or 3 hour drive from Los Angeles. I definitely didn’t notice anything myself, and being the intense introvert that I am, I don’t generally bother to check the local news.
So this comes as a surprise to even me. XD
Introverted doesn’t mean not keeping up with the news. Just sayin’. XD That’s why I still make trips to your blog: lots of fandom news (read: drama) to glean from Tumblr.
