Pershing Square: The Imposter
What you're probably thinking of is Pershing Square. It's like if someone named their kid "Harrison Ford" and then got mad when you didn't think they were the famous actor. Pershing Square is a public park in the heart of Downtown LA. It's got a pretty cool design, with a giant purple bell tower and water features.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "But wait, there's a huge Persian community in LA, so there has to be a Persian Square, right?" Wrong-o. While LA is home to a thriving Persian culture, it seems no one thought to name a square after it. Maybe they were too busy enjoying delicious kebabs and watching Persepolis?
