Your pictures represent the Compton I know and love, not the Compton of media images. Thanks for showing the city in such a respectful and cheerful way.

Very nice, I loved seeing the foil-wrapped trees, I never would have thought to do that. I'm in Arkansas for the holiday and for some reason those inflatable snowglobes are quite popular here too.

Compton is coming up! and I love it. People will be amazed on how Compton has changed in the next 6 months.

I'm looking to support some kids for 2007 Christmas with my organization. Do any one know of any kids in need?
