Pynchon & South Bay

[Yuri]

Great article. Thank you for the link. I live in Torrance, not
far from Manhattan Beach and I'm a long time Pynchon fan.
I'll go there this weekend and check the address mentioned in
the article as well as other locations on Rosecrans Ave
mentioned there.

I'm new to this list. Hi to you all.

Yuri.
