Elk Grove here, thats just a tad south of Sucrmento.

lived in elk grove
they moved years ago when it turned from sleepy suburb into wal-mart anytown usa

Hello from the Liberal Mecca.

My grandparents also lived in Elk Grove when it was a sleepy hicktown before it became Wallyworld.

Whatcha doing Wednesday morning? :hi:

Elk Grove - Laguna Lake.

I've heard you guys are getting a lot of SF transplants out that way!

:hi:

Bayarea-relo's as they are commonly referred to. I am a transplant from massachusetts via texas. I really love living here, after my recent trip back to Boston, i have decided that i will never move back east if i can help it.

I like warmth. Cold winters don't do it for me. :)

palm springs/palm desert area, home to thousands of morons who keep mary bono in congress

where Bonnie Garcia scammed her way to fame and fortune with fed housing funds - Some title #
Recent transplant from Sonoma Valley- Boy, are we sorry.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

I live in a little liberal oasis in OC...my apartment!

Hehehe, jk, there are other liberals in OC besides my hubby and I. Sometimes, though, it seems otherwise.

"north county"
probably a little more liberal than south county
(except for brea...shudder)

Irvine is sometimes grouped with south county, sometimes with costa mesa/santa ana. I think it has things in common with both. I work in Santa Ana.

South of Irvine, down in Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo is where it can be really scary! (Then again, north county has its pockets, too...like Westminster and Brea.)

*I said that like Ethel Merman would*

Just south of Paramount Studios (well, OK so it's really Larchmont Village)

America's finest city.

i wish it would actually rain instead of doing this drizzle thing.

I have lived elsewhere, though. I grew up in Hayward and have lived in Long Beach, Sacramento, Berkeley, and El Cerrito.

:hi:

I'm in a little cubby of the county that's not Citrus Heights, not Antelope, not Foothill Farms, not North Highlands. Just Sacramento. Lifetime area resident.

I'm fairly new to the area myself, only here six months after many years in Atlanta. Maybe we'll have a chance to *meet* at a local event! March for Women's lives is Sunday at 10, downtown! :hi:

Did you see the guy with his right arm in a cast?

including a brother in law who is a staffer for Hannah Beth Jackson, my assemblywoman from the Central Coast. Gotta get him on this board.

:hi: Hi from Ojai. Recently transplanted and still working in Santa Barbara.

I see a distinct pattern emerging with your posts

Nice to meet you. :eyes:

:hi:

Wassup???

:hi::bounce::hi:

Foggy here, but what else is new in mid-April?

Am I alone in the central coast??

West LA! :headbang:

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

from Repug Manhattan Beach, altho several of my neighbors are voting Democrat these days...

I vote Democrat, but honestly I'm just a bit further to the Left. Figure that I began protesting the war in Viet Nam in 1965. OK, so my views make Dennis Kucinich look like a Moderate, politics is about RESULTS. I'll support the most reasonable person, who has a chance of winning. :)

here on the slopes of Mt. Lowe besides myself.

On edit: Woo-hoo! That did it - 2,000 posts on DU pour moi. Errrr, para mi (this is LA, after all).

The state forums are a great idea.

Hekate

:hi: I posted last week, but somehow it did not make it into the thread. Anyway, another DUer from Santa Barbara, Goleta, and now, Ojai. SLO is hometown.

Good to see you Hekate ;)

I was away last weekend at the March on Washington with my daughter, so I've missed a lot of whatever was going on here at DU. Thanks to cell-phones we caught up with my sister, who bussed in from Boston, and we marched as a family unit.

I don't do jet-lag at all well anymore, but I am SO glad we went. Being with a million-plus pro-choice people all at once is a staggering experience. I heard that CSPAN didn't cover it, and if so I can't imagine why not. However, Bill Moyers NOW had a segment tonight on the Religious Pro-Choice Coalition that was thoroughly represented at the March. (I saw that myself from the myriad banners and T-shirts.) He handled it very well--periodically Bill likes to point out that the religious right-wing does not speak for all people of faith by a long shot.

Glad to be back home -- see you soon.

Hekate

was good. I so wanted 2 go last Sunday. How exciting U had a family marching experience. How thrilling.

I'm in the No. Bay where the grass is greener and the water is purer and the potholes are bigger.

California needs more attention than it's been getting from the Democratic political machine. Our electoral votes are coveted so why aren't they making more noise here?

I just don't think we should be taken for granted. It's a big state so they'll have to work harder if they want to attract new voters and get more people to register as Democrats.

Sending wind your way from the Antelope Valley. 25th Congressional district.

:toast:

San Fernando Valley, that is. Right near the totally bitchin' Sherman Oaks Galleria, you know? Fer shur! Omigod!

Like, gag me with a spoon. Fer shur.

Not that I hang out especially with teenyboppers, but one hears things and some of the old Valleyisms still totally persist. Then again, Valspeak spread across the USA throughout the '80s and into the '90s and I heard pretty much the same flavor of talk (with a few word substitutions as Clueless-era expressions infiltrated the form) when I lived in the South for part of that time. Fer shur!

HELLO KADIE!!!

B-)

I just now found the state forums...... I've live in CA my whole life. Born in LA, grew up behind the Orange Curtain, and now I'm in Santa Cruz. Heloo to all the other CADU'ers....:toast:

near the McMansions on ex-ranchland

HB actually.

...er, I mean.... No actually I don't. NorCal rocks!

....Oh, you never heard of it? Halfway between San Bernardino and Palm Springs. Near Banning, Beaumont....this is a land of Republicans, pick-ups and American flags. :puke: (Even my husband has a pickup but his has a big peace sign on it.) :hippie:
