New Angeles
 n.— «New York and L.A. were once charged elements sparking creativity from coast to coast. But the distance between these opposing cities has collapsed under the weight of a culture consisting mainly of marketing messages. L.A. and New York have folded together like advertisements facing one another in a glossy magazine, and we have created a new entity, smeared with media ink—New Angeles.» —“East and West Coasts Are Blending into Cultural Banality” by Patrick Moore History News Network July 9, 2004.
