What a coincidence, that's true of my town too!

My hometown is 15,000 and our biggest building is a prision. Well there are two actually and that accounts for a good chunk of the population as well.

Being from North Eastern California, Lassen County specifically it's a whole other world up there. Very conservative, very redneck.

Wow...there are more of us "normal" people in crazy towns than I thought. LOL!

Oh, the spousal unit would *love* that. He'd put Virginia in his top 5 states. Me, I'm not sure that would be such a good idea.

What about Shelbyville? They have yellow fire hydrants...

Not trying to derail the thread but wowzers Katiesue! 25 years in Janesville, worked at CCC for my brief career as a Corrections officer before the birth of Miss B. Husband has lots of extended family still up there, we have good friends but I don't miss the place other than a very short (did I mention SHORT) list of close friends who haven't left the area yet. I doubt they will considering they are horse/mule folks and need the acres to support their animals.

BTW to get back on track, I totally agree about the rural/redneck/good ol boy system up there, we won't even go into the lack of decent medical care....

If you're going to live in small town Northern California doesn't a juvenile sense of humor pretty much require that you live in Weed?

Sacramento has whales. Who doesn't love whales?



NorCal has superior weed.

LOL Alex! seriously Weed is bigger than Janesville, it would have been a "step up" population and amenities not to mention being on a major highway vs 395/36....big trips to either Reno (70 miles one direction for us) or down to the Redding area...about 120 from my driveway....Weed would have been a total 'step up'

Yellow fire hydrants are pretty...:cool:
