Oh yeah we have plenty of creeps. basically if there’s any f-Ed up story on local news, chances are it’s out in Antioch, but national news its usually somewhere in FL. Stereotypes sometimes end up being true..

what city is this and how the hell did he over pay like that? Sounds like Central Valley so should be cheaper than that.

Wrong tour guide? Best Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Persian, Indian, Mexican, Korean, and CA/French style fine dining in the country. I cede American comfort food, South American/Caribbean and all styles of American bbq to other places - we lack that for sure.

I've been to LA before, didn't really spend anymore time there this go around as it's not my thing.

You should punch whoever said SD to SB is a 3 hour drive. SD to LA is barely that on a good day.

That’s cool - I was just being overly sarcastic to your CA diss as a Floridian. I couldn’t deal with living there either so guess we’re both in our proper places
