socal vs. norcal

Is Pierce College where the kids go that can't get into Cal Poly?

oh and the antelope valley is the new south central, only exurban

it's a 2-year, they probably transfer.

lolz sarahel map = teh awesome

no no I meant like what is the Texas/Colorado/Florida/California of LA

once we have figured out that, then we dive into the California of LA

LA: I contain multitudes.

places i have stayed for extended periods of time-

Norcal:
S.F. - YES. A++ would visit again or live there.
Palo Alto - mmmm ok. the weather was perfect. dug the trees. got to stay in a really nice place and i can remember a couple really good restaurants.
San Jose - downright lame imo. (pretty much lived there for 4 months)

Socal:
L.A. - totally dug it! for a few days, anyway! not sure i could live there...
O.C. - hmm no thanks. ate breakfast at a place with an awes view somewhere around laguna beach, but otherwise meh.

(norcal has edge, but tbf, i spent a lot more time there )

Is this where we start carving up norcal? 'Cause I'm gonna draw the southerly latitude @ Oakland

i hope someone has a good answer for the florida/colorado/etc of LA cuz i have to go out now. keep the thread warm for me!

were people talking shit on eureka?

That's problematic, as San Leandro and Oakland flow together pretty seamlessly.

no no I meant like what is the Texas/Colorado/Florida/California of LA

Does anyone care apart from people who live in or near LA?

I do and I don't live in or near LA

nver been there, but LA's Colorado = Laurel Canyon, maybe?

Fla = Manhattan Beach??

I just want to figure out what the Californiaest place in the world is

Disneyland.

^^^ possible
but begs the question: what's the california of disneyland? tomorrowland?

Californialand.

redondo beach is florida, but that still doesn't account for the meth/murder aspects of florida. can we just say the south bay in general? (ok, i'm going now.)

San Gabriel Valley - Moneyed South
San Fernando Valley - Poor South, and Central Plains
Venice/Santa Monica/Malibu - California
Whittier - Texas
Beverly Hills - Upper East Side of Manhattan
Downtown LA - Detroit
South LA - Gary, IN
Glendale - Armenia
La Canada - New Hampshire
East LA - Mexico
Manhattan Beach/South Bay - FLA
Laurel Canyon - Colorado
Topanga Canyon - Oregon

"Fla = Manhattan Beach??"
never been to Florida but this seems correct

Missouri of LA = Long Beach cause rivers flow through it
Iowa of LA = San Fernando cause of the rich alluvial deposits from Pacoima, I'm sure the soil is decent
Texas of LA = Riverside cause of the trucks and the hopelessness
California of LA = Hollywood, CA
New York of LA = New York means what exactly
Florida of LA = Marina del Rey cause of the waterfront retirees
Colorado of LA = Topanga

oh yeah there's the california adventure thing. still...dunno if that's as california as toontown though.

i might've been getting redondo & manhattan mixed up
xxxposts

no wait Colorado is Big Bear!

i like southern california now after years of vocally hating it, on this very board. but that's probably because I never actually go there. but I approve of the concept.

venice beach = fla panhandle spring break lol titties?

^^prob not fair to venice beach weirdos

I actually think, if we're really adding it all up, that Venice Beach is the most SoCal of all of SoCal.

Santa Monica, then, becomes the Central Coast - arguable.

Malibu is then NorCal. Maybe.

this game can then be played on the country level

SF = France
SC = Switzerland
Oak = Belgium
Santa Barbara = Spain
LA = America

America of LA = SF Valley

America of LA = SF Valley

Sad, but true.

What, prithee, of Pasadena?

oak = holland? (oaksterdam yukyukyuk)

humboldt=new zealand

CSI: Miami is filmed primarily in the United States. Location shots are filmed in the South Florida/Miami-Dade area, while indoor scenes are shot at Raleigh Manhattan Studios in Manhattan Beach, California. Some scenes, mainly outdoor, are filmed mostly in Long Beach, California, as well as portions of Manhattan Beach. Beach areas of Downtown Long Beach are often used for other outdoor scenes: Marina Green Park, Rainbow Lagoon Park. The newly constructed high-rise condos there give the presence of being in Miami. The sculptured walkway paying tribute to the old Pike Roller Coaster can be seen in the background in the episode "Under The Influence" (original air date 10/04/04; there, Alexx and Horatio investigate a body found on Shoreline Drive, a street made famous by the Long Beach Grand Prix).

i'm voting socal but only really like la and joshua tree & environs. rest of socal doesn't interest me at all

What, prithee, of Pasadena?

some teutonic place with a twee flower show

san pedro = bay area old-skool longshoreman culture
pierce college (in the SFV) = central valley big agriculture
hollywood = san francisco gays, junkies, macrobiotics
the southeast valley south of ventura blvd = irvine

pasadena is the solvang of l.a. county!

solvang is the euro disney of california

pasadena is the solvang of l.a. county!

San Marino is the Connecticut of LA county

Years back, Mono and Inyo Counties were part of the 714 area code so I've traditionally placed them in So Cal.

The Rust Belt of the LA Sprawl is Downey, Lakewood, Hawthorne, Whittier. Bellflower

Also, this movie to thread:

Inyo face wiki big line adherents!

there isn't nearly enough socal apologism in this thread

I'm sorry you feel that way.

still it was worth it for this phrase:

"pasadena is the solvang of l.a. county!"

I am quite happy with the straight line/San Luis Obispo theory as it makes Norcal a really easy vote (uh, for this foreigner who has spent a mere three weeks in your state and probably shouldn't be allowed to vote at all), otherwise Monterey and Big Sur might give me pause.

Mainly I just really liked SF and thought Tahoe and the coast road north of SF were beautiful, but by the time we got to the south we were all getting pretty tired of the driving-motel cycle, and our LA experience consisted mostly of going in circles and/or stuck in traffic being unable to find things, so we cut the few days we'd planned to stay there short.
