In the suburbs of Los Angeles there is a valley where 4 million people live that does not receive much attention. I am not talking about the San Fernando Valley where the rich play and the valley girl was invented. No, I am talking about a magical kingdom called the Inland Empire, the 909 area code that is considered the ghetto of the LA suburbs (except Claremont). This is where Disney Land almost was, where Gone with the Wind originally premiered, and where grape vines used to grow but have withered away in the desert dirt. This fall issue brings together artist of the Inland Empire to share their stories of home. They express their love for this desert valley that lies in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The valley where the true angels live.
