Share/Save/Bookmark

The Dynasty of Lao concept came about as a way to share information on interesting people, places and things that might not actually be right in your own back yard.  About 10% of this content will be personal musings, and the rest is a grab bag with features sometimes pertaining to the most interesting and coolest city on earth, Los Angeles, as well as what's going on in the world.  The site is meant to be eclectic, broadening, nostalgic and maybe a learning experience, but most of all, fun.  Pop culture, current events, etc.  I hope you enjoy your stay and come back as often as you can.

"Someone had said, and Wilhelm agreed with the saying, that in Los Angeles all the loose objects in the country were collected, as if America had been tilted and everything that wasn't tightly screwed down had slid into Southern California."

The Santa Ynez Valley is, well, paradise.

I have been going up there since I was a small boy and my trips have become more frequent and longer. It only takes one visit to see why this is the real California.

It's easy to give my reflections here about the SYV, but the best way to experience it is to visit the links I have assembled. You'll find these rural towns to be interesting for the mind, relaxing for the soul, and filling for the stomach. It's people are friendly and the days are laid-back and it will one day be my home.
