Alligator captured near Los Angeles lake

Alligator captured near Los Angeles lake

I think what struck me most about this story was the following:

"We'd bring our chairs out here and a bag of fruit, and we'd talk with people we didn't even know," Danny Gutierrez said.

The gator inspired a zydeco song, two children's books and innumerable T-shirts. Students at Los Angeles Harbor College next to the lake adopted Reggie as a second mascot.

Like WOW. It's a sad commentary when it takes a gator to bring neighbors together (I mean it's a good thing too) - but sad cause we don't do it on our own...

That and 'gator' as a marketing 'gimmick'....um...OK

^_^
