David Beckham has truly been a blessing to those of us in SoCal this summer, and it’s about time we shared the wealth with our toque-wearing continental brethren.
And after this profound gesture of goodwill from the L.A. Galaxy, perhaps we will finally realize our first SoCal Swiss Chalet franchise (oh how our hearts ache for poutine).
