i attend CCBC down in South Bay (Torrance/Gardena). REALLY awesome school and i think the tuition price can't be beat
At Murrieta, one pastor at my church is going there for school. Look him up... probably can't miss the man. He's a tall bear-like Korean dude with a nice countenance. His name's Brian

All right...dead thread... 
I am a native of the central coast...San Luis Obispo Co. Baby...lived her since I was 25. You know that earth quake Dec. 22...you can thank G-D because that was what woke me to the reality of His Saving Grace. I had to run out of my house through glass and tore my feet up. Well...not only that...I was in a deep sleep when it started and I was thrown out of my bed (during which I had a falling dream) and woke when I slamed into the ground. From the sound and the shaking I thought it was WWIII... (Oh...I live in Paso Robles. Where they had the two casualties and the brunt of the damage). Needless to say. G-D finaly got to me.
I cry sometimes seeing what "progress" has done to my county. $600,000 track homes that would have been $180,000 4 years ago. But each house is on an average 1 acre plus. So all the land is getting ate up. And us "poor" folks cant afford to live here. Trust me...I dont know what the big deal is.
We have rolling hills, vast expanses of land. But when you take that away...you will just have a two season area (rain and summer) that smells like sulfar and maneur almost every day. Oh...and SLO county was deemed the most unaffordable place to live in the state by the way. Commute costs, consumable goods cost, etc. Are all crazy. Its like living at Catalina. So...once I finish school (CCBC extension at my church and Marine Science/Bio at Cal Poly, San Luis) I am leaving. I cant afford to raise kids here. Let alone buy a place.
Oh...and we had wonderful Mardi Gras riots. The only time we make it in the national news is by tragedy. Thats how podunk we are. But people want to move here...ok...if they want 110 degree months during the summer and years where we get between 30-40" of rain or more. And routine fires. And what now? Earthquakes?
I dont know how people could have not expected an Earthquake. Parkfield (the most siesmicly active site in the world...middle of the San Andreas fault) is about 20 minutes from where I live.
At least you dont have to worry about predictiable disasters like tornandos and hurricanes in california...

How do you like San Diego? It's a great "small big city" eh? When you were in Carmel, do you know if the Police Chief was still a McGilvray?covgroupleeder said:
No kidding, he is my wife's uncle. He retired from the LAPD, uh, er, Ramparts Division chief, ah, well, "few years ago"
and decided to get away from all the "kaka" and live a life of leasure as Chief in crime-infested Carmel!He told us one of his first "difficult" decisions was regarding an ice cream ordinance debate. Vendors said kids eating ice cream along the walk were leaving a mess in front of their stores!
Far cry from LAPD, eh?

Incomplete without surface noise.
I'm from SoCal.
How original.
I'm surprised at how many people here live so close to me. It's pretty shocking/incredible/cool.
