COALINGA VS NORCO

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:03 (fifteen years ago) link

well even if i concede SLO and SB to an extent, i think the hideousness of southeastern cali still tips it in favor of norcal

The Prices are .......... VERY AFFORDABLE!!! (omar little), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:04 (fifteen years ago) link

I'll take it to the committee. 7 pm, No. 2 lane of the 405, just south of the 10. Can everyone make it?

Hmmm. If libcrypt's newest representation is correct, I claim Mendocino Co. as a colony. They have a few good breweries up there.

nobody wants to claim san berdoo/riverside/imperial... can't they be their own state?

pomona BLAM are you fucking serious!? I moved AWAY from there!

Roberto Mussolini (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

My knowledge of north-northern Cali is sparse, so I'm sure I have perp'd many an injustice with my insouciant map.

meta pro lols (libcrypt), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link

actually the recent election maps are pretty O_o to what is Norcal vs. Socal.

Gotta give credit where its due...he's an East Bay guy.

Fogerty namedrops the weirdest places in Cali

"if you order a burrito and it has rice in it you are in northern california"

Pretty sure I've had rice in a San Diego burrito, but it's been a while.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:11 (fifteen years ago) link

most of our burritos have rice. i believe the burritos-sans-rice is a san diego thing. (and by extension a mexico thing.)

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Alright...here's an idea.

First, whats the line of demarcation?

I would argue that Carmel/Monterey is where Northern California starts. Any takers/dissenters?

Barackin' In the Free World (B.L.A.M.), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Man, I am totes wading into religious territory here, but I have heard that the taqueria concept is a Norcal, or specifically SF, one. If I'm wrong, please don't tear me up like a chimp on xanax.

meta pro lols (libcrypt), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:12 (fifteen years ago) link

I already made it official up-thread!

iatee, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:12 (fifteen years ago) link

Because, clearly...most of the diehard NorCalians want NorCal to be ANYTHING north of Ventura.

Barackin' In the Free World (B.L.A.M.), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:13 (fifteen years ago) link

above SLO = norcal and below = socal

iatee, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:13 (fifteen years ago) link

Ned, you are from the Maryland/Missouri of California.

My dad more than me but I am a spiritual citizen of the place.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:15 (fifteen years ago) link

xp Hahaha

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:15 (fifteen years ago) link

you're giving up ZZYZX Rd. to New Nevada? you fucking traitor

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link

i would consider norcal to be san jose and points north. give or take a few miles.

hahahaha zzyzx road!

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link

San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara are socal. Any diehard Northern Californian should know this.

unexpected item in bagging area (sarahel), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Anyway the real battle is Contra Costa County vs. Inland Empire.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

above SLO = norcal and below = socal

I can dig this. I need at least some more participation before I continue on to my next few points.

Barackin' In the Free World (B.L.A.M.), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

"i would consider norcal to be san jose and points north. give or take a few miles."

No way Santa Cruz is Socal.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Dude, New Nevada also gets most of the prisons, pollution, and meth labs.

unexpected item in bagging area (sarahel), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

fine, santa cruz and points north. it can be right on the border.

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:18 (fifteen years ago) link

xp Not until incorporates Riverside it doesn't.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:19 (fifteen years ago) link

what we're all missing is the fact that norcal and socal are not just geographic definitions, but rather, horrible states of mind

iatee, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:19 (fifteen years ago) link

you can be norcal anywhere, really

iatee, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:19 (fifteen years ago) link

If you are stoned enough, sure.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Santa Cruz is more or less equal in terms of northness as San Jose now, as San Jose has laid claim to a lot of unincorporated area south of its former boundaries.

unexpected item in bagging area (sarahel), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

If you are stoned enough, sure.

I'm pretty sure you can then be NorCal and SoCal at the same time. Pretty sure.

Barackin' In the Free World (B.L.A.M.), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

step 1. buy 'norcal' logo for the window of your black pickup truck / rice rocket

iatee, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

The line has been blurred since we began to get more In-N-Outs in the Bay Area, I'll admit.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

what is the Maryland/Missouri of California?

turtles all the way down (Face of Wolf), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

No way Monterey is So Cal!

unexpected item in bagging area (sarahel), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm gonna claim Monterey for norcal too. The entire Monterey bay is norcal's.

wiki sez Teh Big Line

Try the Big Line. You don't like the Big Line? Just try it. Just once.

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:22 (fifteen years ago) link

We can argue over SLO but the high concentration of lesbians makes it inherently more norcalish.

meta pro lols (libcrypt), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:23 (fifteen years ago) link

What the hell is that blue thing there in the middle Riverside/Imperial? It looks like a deflated PacMan ghost.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:23 (fifteen years ago) link

i think san luis as a border sounds good. went to school there and this debate was fuckn omnipresent

all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link

prop 13 is bad but if it were repealed for standard homeowners the vast majority of them in california would go bankrupt

I highly doubt that
