Southern Cali use to be so pretty. My father was stationed in San Diego in the Navy, when I was a little kid and again when I was a young teen. It had some beautiful beaches and parks. Now, other than a quick visit, I would dread going to California. Moscow on the other hand, has hardly changed a bit since I can remember relative to other cities I have lived in, and it still looks like what much of many of family refers to as "God's Country". 
 
California is a big place, and there are several places that still ok. But you still are under the California State government no matter where you are in the state, and that makes it an unacceptable place to live in my opinion. 
 
The 1.5 million people that live in Idaho are very, very lucky, especially the ones in the north.  
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Having been born and raised (until I enlisted minutes after my 18th birthday) in Los Angeles, I love and miss what Southern California was . . . and dreadfully regret what it has become.
 
So . . . to those of you who express animosity and distaste for a region you merely passed through, you have absolutely no concept of the 60s in Los Angeles and . . .
 
Hitchhiking through Topanga Canyon to go surfing at Malibu
 
Cheering on the  Dodgers from the outfield bleachers of the LA Coliseum
 
Chillin' out at MacArthur Park on a Saturday afternoon
 
Cruisin' Ventura Boulevard on a Friday night
 
Bummin' down Van Nuys Boulevard with your buddies on Saturday night
 
. . . just to list a few memories of mine.
 
So, although Moscow may be my adopted home, I will always have loads of faded photos and fond memories of where I was back when . . .
