I’ve lived in Texas. So, even though I’ve never been to L.A., I can say with some certainty that the two spots couldn’t be more different…mostly because Texas is pretty much unlike anyplace else in the country.

I’ll let you decide.

But these 15 pictures leave no doubt that you’d be pretty crazy to mix the two up.

15. Yes, that’s a bear in Pasadena. Take that, Texas.

13. But Texas has Whataburger, and you’d be hard-pressed to find better hangover food anywhere in the world.
