In the process of doing some genealogical research, I learned some semi-interesting things. Yay Wikipedia!

1. Lynwood, a city in south Los Angeles county, is not a "wood" like a tree-filled area. It is named after someone actually named Lynn Wood.
   
2. Maywood is really proud of the fact that it's supposedly the first American city to outsource all of its city services. Sounds more like something you should be really ashamed of to me, Maywood!
