A sounding in Brentwood

I live in Brentwood, which is a rich neighborhood in Los Angeles, on a hill which slopes down to the Pacific Ocean. Like rich neighborhoods anywhere, it is quiet, its residents, conventional and conservative in their mores and manners. However, in the last day, I have observed two prostitutes escorted by their pimp; and a middle-aged man walking down the street wearing a kilt (in the Black Watch plaid) while fiddling with the sporran (the purse which hangs from the belt). Not the usual Brentwood crowd.
