I was stationed in Southern CA in 1968-70 after I got back from VN, and loved the place. There was all kinds of new stuff for a country kid from PA to do. There were hippies, rednecks, and everything in between, and everybody seemed to get along just fine. Reagan was governor at the time. We seriously thought about staying, but by the time I was discharged, my wife & I got homesick, and we moved back home to PA. Glad we did.
My parents were from PA and upper New York State and we moved here in 67. Unfortunately I'm still here. I've made a great living here but really can't stand a lot of these idiots. I do live in a small town in the foothills that stays petty quiet. Im only 20 miles above LA.
Both my parents were from outside Scranton PA and moved to California in 59, when my dad got out of the army! San Bernardino first before coming to north county San Diego in 66. Love it here, but the high cost of living is a huge burden for a lot of folks. I try not to travel north or south because of the rat race …unless visiting family or traveling in RV!
