My sister is out in LA this weekend with her fiance, looking for rental houses. Right now, they're looking in the Woodland Hills area, searching through the Craigslist entries as I'm talking to her.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone know anything about Winnetka, CA? Is that a nice town to live in?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But the west coast is trying to poach Beverly, so I didn't count her in NC.
What?
If I say it, it might be true!
Winnetka is Valley just before the big hill thing, yeah? No, that's ... I fail. Someone else will have to take a stab at this one. I am busy trying to get Beverly into the PNW.

I'm looking at the Winnetka, CA wikipedia page, and I can't work out why I've never heard of it before.
Winnetka is bordered by Canoga Park on the west, Woodland Hills on the south, Chatsworth to the north, and Reseda to the east.
I've been to all those places. Just never Winnetka.
No point me answering valley-related questions. I'm unbearably biased against anywhere not West LA, much less not LA county.

I think my sister would love it if they could get back to the PNW--until about 18 months ago, they were both living in Tacoma, and she moved out to Las Vegas to join the fiance last September. But, he just got a job with the city (of LA), so they'll be moving at the end of the month. I didn't get a chance to ask her where he'll be working before she hung up--I'll see if I can get that info from her tomorrow. It sounded like they're pretty set to looking in that area of the Valley, so I'm guessing he'll be working nearby.

Just never Winnetka.You've probably gone through it a lot. There are a few exits for it off of the 101.
I only remember the name because my mom grew up in Winnetka near Chicago. It stuck in my brain.

That's why my sister also noticed it on the map! Well, she recognized the name of the town from Illinois, not that we grew up there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I can't work out why I haven't heard of it either. I grew up here. But my DH knows the name, so clearly he's more plugged in than I am.
