West Covina is basking in the glow of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...012-story.html
The Los Angeles suburb, whose ordinariness was a main reason it was chosen for The CW series' setting, hasn’t received much money from film permit revenue. Nor has it received much Crazy Ex-Girlfriend-associated tourism. But it has had an impact in that people nationwide actually know it exists. “Nowadays, I think I’d tell people, ‘I’m from West Covina,’” says City Councilmember Ben Wong. “I can name-drop my city now,” adds longtime resident Lisa Mayo, who first came to know West Covina as “past Pasadena.” Rachel Bloom says she and fellow co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna “liked the idea of West Covina being a symbol for what America now is: A diverse group from all walks of life going to the same chain stores and restaurants.” ALSO: “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend isn’t just a TV show — it’s my life” Ranking every Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song David Hull’s career is a commentary on whiteness, between his roles on Insecure and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend |
