yea im pretty fluent in spanglish from living my whole life here....are you in the metropolitan area? or just out side the main drag?

I live in the old terminal building for the Pacific Electric Line. Its on Sixth and Main downtown. The area I live in is overlapped by the historic core, and skid row. Not sure what you mean by outside the main drag. I am not on Bunker Hill which many consider the main drag of downtown, but I can walk there in just a few minutes.

Rent is steep, but not absurd. I pay about a grand a month, but I get a lot for my money. Its not nearly as bad as melrose. My place is about 700 square feet so I have a lot of space.

I'm in southern California too but I would rather not say exactly where.... lets just say between LA and San Diego!

I'll go by counties so I'm guessing that means somewhere in Orange County. Maybe its somewhere that TV has given a bad image recently that narrows my guess to Newport, or Laguna Beach. I could very well be off base, but that is my guess. Also no reason to dsiclose if it makes you uncomfortable.

 

[SweetBella]

yes, i am in orange county... you're close with cities.

 

[justcallmejamie]

Marina Del Ray? Hermosa? Long Beach? im really just throwing them out there. I was living in a 1 bedroom for $950 it was killing me, i am a single mom with a single income and i could barely make ends meet. Things are better now though.

419 what do you do for a living...you can keep it general if you like

 

[419gam]

I am a full time student, I used to work as a lifeguard, and now work part time at a pizza parlor. I mostly live of the interest of investments I made when I was working more.
