12 Signs You’re From La Verne, California

“The thought of being recognized? I was traumatized. Everyone left, and we went downstairs, and a woman walking with a cane, slower than everyone else, saw me. She pointed her cane at me and said, ‘You’re Dustin Hoffman, aren’t you? You’re the Graduate.’ I’d never been recognized in public before. She said, ‘Life is never going to be the same for you from this moment on.” Yup, if you’ve seen the infamous church scene in the movie “The Graduate” with Dustin Hoffman, that was filmed in guess where… La Verne! If you grew up in La Verne, California, you’ll understand these 12 things.

“You go to La Verne? Where’s that?” It’s in La Verne, California. Yup, I mean clearly La Verne is in the name “University of La Verne.”
