In a sci-fi book (probably paperback) from decades ago, before there was an internet, there was a tale about Los Angeles being a living organism that was growing. You could tell it was growing by the fact that orange trees kept spreading to what were then the suburbs.
I doubt that premise was the main point of the sci-fi story, but it is what I remember. I do not remember title or author.

"...orange trees kept spreading to what were then the suburbs"
Do you mean vice versa?
No. The symptom of L.A. growing was the mysterious appearance of orange trees where none had been before.
There is a state whose name is based on Los Angles being a whore mother and its residents being ok with it. OK LA Ho Ma.
You stretched a long way to get that one.
Given the number of times he's posted it, muscle memory was heavily involved.
