Note about LA county listings

Unlike most smaller cities, there are basically no consistent and reliable sources for schain listings in Los Angeles County over time. The same is true of New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Please understand that the listings for most of Los Angeles County will always be largely incomplete.
