Occupy LA Camp Has 'Westwood' Area

The segment of the camp where protesters with jobs are living has been dubbed "Westwood."

Not all Occupy LA protesters camping out near City Hall are jobless, and a group of them live in "Westwood."

A story on NPR's Morning Edition reports the Occupy LA camp has become "something of a microcosm of the city" -- protesters with jobs are distancing themselves from the homeless living in the camp. The area they occupy has been dubbed Westwood.

"We're a quiet neighborhood right here," a protester named Shelly Moss told NPR. "We go to sleep between 8:00 and 10:00."
