Found my Marbles

Check this out! There is a marble maker in Winlock. This little town is full of surprises.

I have done a bit of additional research on Winlock (one would think I'd do this before deciding to move but whatevs).


First off - there is some debate about Winlock's possession of the "World's Largest Egg". Read all about it here.

I got the following info from city-data.com

Winlock population: 1,225. Comparing that to Los Angeles' 3,694,834 makes me dizzy.

Winlock elevation: 309 ft above sea level; Los Angeles: 330

Winlock land area: 1.1 sq. miles; Los Angeles: 469.1 sq. miles

Winlock foreign born residents: 65; Los Angeles: 1,512,708

Winlock registered sex offenders: 5 (ratio 243 to 1); Los Angeles 3660 (ratio 1051 to 1) - that's some small town family values for ya.

The nearest city to Winlock with a population over 1 mil. is Los Angeles.

Bad news: Burglaries in Winlock average 1086 for every 100k people. Burglaries in Los Angeles average 599 for every 100k people.

Not to happy about the lack of diversity in Winlock - especially compared to Los Angeles but what's a white girl to do? Can't change my spots.
