miley cyrus wrote a book at 15 and i read it

[@uncarley]

thank you to everyone who alerted me to the facts that La Cañada is an area in LA! I am Canadian and therefore know nothing about american geography

[@jackrussel999]

That's even more funny to me tbh, I love to think that Miley called it "Canada" instead of "Cañada" for far too long

[@1800LL]

Rhett and Link as well as Terry Crews live in La Cañada too (or at least did when I lived there) and Miley went to a church down the street in an even smaller “town” I guess you could call it called Montrose!

I seriously had no idea her mom was even alive until I was watching some family game they did on a late night TV show (they all blend together) when I was in like 7th grade. 6 years after the show ended.

Quick clarification corner! La Cañada (pronounced ken-YAH-dah) is actually a city about 30 minutes outside of LA. It's a lot closer to Pasadena, CA. Likewise, the border of Pasadena and La Cañada is where JPL is- basically NASA's laboratory and west coast field center. It is a gorgeous place- lots of mountains and canyons! Definitely a more affluent area though, so take "smallest house we could find" with a grain of salt :)

[@evanncarter7020]

Thank you for posting this! I paused the video at that part and furiously scrolled through the comments hoping that someone else noticed this

La Cañada is the most beautiful place you can live in LA County and also one of the most expensive. I used to go hiking there, and when I checked housing prices because I loved the area so much I couldn't believe it cost more than Pasadena.
