BeachOfEden Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Is Anyone Here From Southern CA? I was just wondering if I am the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlytop Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yo Beach, I'm from San Marcos, about 30 miles north of San Diego. curlytop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachOfEden Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Cool. It seems like most here are either from the wid-west or New England states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterrettc Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I too am in Southern California, but I will not say that I am from here. I was born and grew up in Texas, and was educated in Illinois. I am reasonably happy here for the time being, but wish to move back to the midwest someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlytop Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Actually I guess I'd have to say I'm "in" southern Cal too, as I was actually born in Chicago and raised in Kansas City, MO. I like it here, though it took a little getting used to CA's unique four seasons: fire, flood, escrow, and the Academy Awards. curlytop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredP Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 So, does anybody actually STAY in Chicago, then? Wishing more of you were here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterrettc Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Alas, Fred, it was employment that took me out of Chi-Town. Furthermore, it was my wife's employment. I became what is know in academic families as the trailing spouse. I do miss that Chicago-Style Pizza, and I miss spring. Californians think they have spring, but it really isn't spring if it doesn't follow winter. I miss noticing how warm it is when it gets back into the 40's and 50's. I miss being able to get places without having to drive. (God bless the El.) And I miss the occasional weekday afternoon baseball game at Wriggley Field. (The Dodgers have only 3 weekday afternoon games this season. Plus, the famous Dodger-dogs are sorry in comparison to the Polish sausage you get at Wriggley.) BTW, your profile says you are in the NW suburbs. I used to teach at Oakton Community College. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

des Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 So, does anybody actually STAY in Chicago, then? Wishing more of you were here! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah! :-) I am happy to have left (can you say winter). However, I will always think fondly of my time in Chicago. There are some things I miss (like archetecture and pizza). :-) --des Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOW Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 So, does anybody actually STAY in Chicago, then?
