Los Angeles is special, and sportswriter Zach Schwartz’s tweet about his experience at an L.A. florist shows us exactly why. Buying purple and yellow flowers for the Staples Center this week, Zach asked the florist what he owed her. Her reply? Not a dime. “It’s L.A.,” she said. Your money’s no good here.

Zach has chosen to partner with HOMAGE to raise funds for the Mamba On Three and to celebrate the life of a beloved Los Angeles icon, and a city that will never forget him.

Proceeds from the sale of this tee benefit the Mamba On Three.
