Decided on Southern California

[GreenNickle]

San Joaquin Valley. South of Fresno.....

Dude that isn't So Cal that is the DIRT

Welcome to the DIRT Dude been out here since 96

 

[GreenNickle]

Like I said, I get it.

I take it you don't consider Kern County SoCal......

Kern County is kinda like west Texas only you can mess with Kern County

Look on the bright side you are only a little over an hour to Magic Mountain.

I've been living in Los Angeles for the last 10 years(originally from Taunton, MA). One of the cool things about living out here is on Sundays during football season you have an excuse to start drinking at 10 a.m.[/QUOTE
Agree watching football on the west coast is best. Either drinks or breakfast for the first game, lunch with the second game, dinner with the late game, in bed by 10 pm

You would have hated Augusta, Maine.

Maybe, but I am second-guessing myself on San Diego.....

If the opportunity for me to take over a position in San Diego happens there would be nothing but a vapor trail.
San Diego is glorious.

I'd be perfectly content to never leave California the rest of my life. There's no place on earth like it.

LOL...maybe there is no other place like it, and from my point of view thank goodness no other place is as screwed up as this place. I am here, strictly because my job, but will be leaving the day after my retirement, unless I can convince the company to move me first.

Southie, just look at the disparity in the average home price between where you chose and San Diego - you'll snap out of it.

Plus, the job is more interesting.
It will be closer to my hometown, closer to the California Delta, Closer to the Sierras. Much cheaper to live.

SLO is nice

I'm up here in Clovis,CA.
Good Schools for my boys. Cost of living is pretty good. The outdoor things to do are many. And the weather is manageable all year long. No humidity No 24 hr mosquitoes. I can be in the San Diego area in 5 hours SLO in 2.

and football starts at 9 AM on Saturdays

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Southie means born in South Boston.
Moved to California as a kid, call San Luis Obispo home.
Lived in NC for 15 years with wife and kids - hated it after wife passed. Still have a house there and 2 of my kids are there. I really enjoy leaving NC when I visit.
California will always be home.

Phew, thought I had been duped.

I like NC for what I know, having visited Ashville and the Outer Banks.
California...San Fran to Lake Tahoe, San Andreas to Yosemite to Death Valley. Trona is the scariest place I've ever exposed myself too, Lynn included. Perfect place for a Rob Zombie movie.
L.A., as a hole, the rudest people I have ever come across. From NY to DC to...well anywhere.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Duh...LA as a "W"hole...


Regardless, welcome back to the lower 48.

 

[TP76]

Duh...LA as a "W"hole...

You had it right the first time Yankee. LA is a hole.

 

[Southieinnc]

You had it right the first time Yankee. LA is a hole.

LA is one of the large cities I could live in. Well, I don't know about "live" I'd die in the smog......

 

[realityball]

Man, I'm jealous.

Summers in NE is what I stay alive for, but the winters are effed-up royal.
The west is just too far from everything I know and the south is populated by wackjobs. But the bones can't take the cold like they used to.

Welcome back southie ...

 

[lasvegasb/tcha$$]

I lived in tehachapi for 8 years(not in the prison)my son still lives there.the taxes in cali absolutly suck.i cannot handle that small town thing

 

[Southieinnc]

Well, I am almost checked out here in Okinawa. I get on a jet to California the 25th. I sold my cars, cleaned out my house, I'm checked into a hotel. I cried yesterday, thinking about leaving and the ties I have to Okinawa.
Today I am listening to blues and drinking California ales while I'm looking out the window at the sunset.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Look to the east my friend, home is to your east.

Looks like a Typhoon is scheduled to visit Okinawa (Kadena on the map) when I'm scheduled to fly.

Buckle up. I'm flying through Narita tomorrow 21 Aug to BKK. May be a bumpy ride?
