Dear Residents of 'Beverly Crest'

Dear Residents of Beverly Crest:

I'm all for an engaged citizenry, a concerned neighborhood association, but this level of specificity takes things to an entirely different plane:


To the best of my understanding, this neighborhood (that is, "the scenic masterpiece... on the FRONT... of the foothills... FACING Beverly Hills") includes a klatch of streets north of Doheny Drive and east of Coldwater Canyon.... and part of the larger Bel Air-Beverly Crest Neighborhood association at large. The houses, as is the case across Beverly Hills, and Los Angeles in general, are hugely variegated, as Woody Allen iconically and crankily pointed out in Annie Hall: "There's French next to Spanish next to Tudor next to Japanese..." that remains as true as it was in 1978. And it certainly remains true in the neighborhood of Beverly Crest:





It certainly took a great feat of civic organization to get this signage erected, and I can only assume that the effort was ring-led by the obviously hugely anal-retentive owner of this:


Sincerely,
Dear Crabby
