"Any of you ever been to El Segundo ? YUK !! Nothing there but smelly Oil refineries"

LOL!! Did anyone think it was swimming pools, movie stars! Instead, it's where they cook-up the bubblin' crude! :)

Wish I'd thought to stop by the lux offices over the weekend - I was probably within a couple of miles of the place. That's right around the part of the 405 where you put the A/C on "internal" and try not to breathe for a few miles...

It'd be interesting to see their impressive digs plopped-down in the middle of the oil refinaries.

(I spent most of the weekend in Santa Monica, which explains my lack of postings, which of course was attributed to the "rise" in price of ZULU and my not wanting to face the "fact" that I was "wrong". Boy, am I sorry I didn't think to stop-off in beautiful downtown El Segundo! I just didn't realize what a lovely patina air-bound oil byproducts must put on marble. But you can be sure I won't miss it the next time I'm up that way.)

Not really Fred. You forget it is only a short drive to Anaheim and we all know who lives in Anaheim. M-I-C.........

I have! I lived there in the early '60's. A lot different than NYC

Any of you ever been to El Segundo ? YUK !! Nothing there but smelly Oil refineries.

Sorry, Fred, I don't see your point. Are you implying that El Segundo is a cesspool?

Yes, El Segundo has an oil refinery. It is a Chevron refinery that was built by Standard Oil around the turn of the century (the city takes its name from the fact that the refinery was "The Second" one built by Standard in North America).

El Segundo is much more than that, however. Computer Sciences Corporation is headquartered there, as is computer distributor Merisel, and toy maker Mattel. Xerox, TRW and Hughes Aircraft all have big campuses there, filled with engineers and other white collar professionals. Aerospace Corp, a semi-private firm that works with the Air Force on advanced rocketry and missile technology, is headquartered there.

I'm not writing this for your benefit; you've obviously been to El Segundo, and you're just being an asshole. I'm writing this for other people who may get the impression that El Segundo is a seedy little town with cheap office space for setting up dummy companies. There may be good reasons to dislike ZULU, but setting up shop in El Segundo is not one of them.
