(was that it?) disneyland (still love going there, but too high priced) nickel city (i dunno if it's still there, but the one in Huntington beach) wonderland (El Cajun) berona (still going strong, but haven't been since that fire in San Diego) Carlton Oaks Elementary school (anybody go there in the 90's to early 2000's? i moved in the middle of 5th grade back to LA.) Bonies grocery store old town San Diego the preschool there near downtown SD. Qualcomm Stadium (i used to leave near the 4th quarter of a chargers night game, because i'd be scared of the pyro they used. i'm not talking about those fireworks you get at the stand at fourth of july, i'm talking about those high class pro fireworks, ones like you see on Smackdown or Raw.) Family Fun Center/ Bowl Weavel's pizza (is that still there?) i'm still in So Cal, currently living in Riverside.

Disneyland of course is awesome, Hollywood, Beverly Hills. I wish I could have been there in the 80s, it was probably amazing. I think the Karate Kid painted a pretty good picture of that place back in the day.

yhaz 3 years 6 days ago Posts: 131	My real memories of Southern California are Norton AFB (hated it), The LA Adventurer Hotel and Back Packer's Paradise (I loved working there but my memories are a little fuzzy), and the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Now all Southern California is to me is San Ysidro, a Trolley ride to Santa Fe Station, a train ride to Burbank, and an uncomfortable flight back to Reno sometimes changing flights in San Jose. I grew up in Northern California and the South seemed like another world to me the first time I went there. I briefly lived in LA for a while and despite the fact I LOVED my job LA itself didn't make much of an impression on me. San Diego is a very nice place to visit and the ride up the coast is enjoyable. The mind numbing, spirit crushing sub-urban sprawl of Orange County I encounter on the occasions I have to take the bus to get to a connecting flight has soured me on Southern California. In case anyone is wondering customs is much easier at the border and international flights are expensive, and I would have to change flights anyway so I don't fly directly into the US.

retrotyrone1989 3 years 1 day ago Posts: 104	now i remember the border from San Diego to Mexico. my parents went there to bet on the horses. which was always boring for me, because there wasn't an arcade or anything. but now that i'm 22, i went there about a couple of years ago, and got hooked up with the ladies/latinas in the club, went in the hotel and did it! if you know what i mean.

I was raised in Sacramento and lived there throughout the 90s and 2000s and recently moved out. I was so into watching tv growing up and thought Southern California was where all the cool people lived like actors and whatnot which showed how little I knew. Saved By the Bell, California Dreams, Baywatch, etc. I believe all depicted Southern Californian life and it just seemed so cool.
