Top Ten Places to Live...

Actually, there's relatively few shootings in Muscoy these days.

Which probably means it's honorable mention on this list. ;D

 

I used to cover Claremont High and had a college roomie who went there. Great, great town with lots of charm. The five Claremont Colleges would look good on anyone's resume.

Those home prices, however... Wow.

 

Thing is, suburban sprawl is the ideal for many people. Lots of options to do your shopping, dining, recreation, etc. I think some of the most desirable places have at least one nearby area with a lot of stuff packed into it.

 

Must be the new freeway extension.

 

There's the rub, shot. People want seasons, but no winter. Or the beach, but no storms. Or convienence, but no sprawl.

Personally, I couldn't live anywhere that didn't get some snow in the winter. Got to have the changing seasons.

 

Fuck me, you're right.

 

Right on, Server

Microville gets on these kinds lists all the time (althought it's not on this one). It's perfect for me, and a lot of my friends. I found my place, have been here for a while, and you'll probably read my obit in the Microville Daily Muckraker.

For the restless, I give them:

"Gaily bedight,
A gallant night
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of El Dorado.


But he grew old --
This knight so bold --
And -- o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like El Dorado.


And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow --
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be --
This land of El Dorado?"


"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied --
"If you seek for El Dorado."



I've found mine, smaller payheck/annual raises be damned.

 

Grand 'effin Terrace!!!!! You're kidding me. What, did Stevie Wonder get a vote?

Now, now, Mile and Buck. You've got to differentiate between areas of Muscoy. North Muscoy is actually rather inhabitable, especially if you're Caucasian with a predilection toward white trash.

What you had there -- at least when I was going to high school with a great deal of the Muscoyvites -- was the lower-middle class folks who couldn't afford to live in Devore. And many of them were decent folks

South Muscoy, OTOH ... not so much. A true candidate for Boots Places to Get Your Ass Kicked thread.

One of my best friends grew up in La Palma. There are worse places. But if they wanted a good IE community, where the hell was Redlands? If I ever moved back to that area, that'd be the first and last place I'd look.
