Stay out of Salinas if you wish to live, gang violence is at a record high.

like there was ever a reason to go there?

Ahahaha!

Salinas is a necessary evil for Monterey residents who want to visit a mall, go to Harbor Freight, etc. The bigger stores are there, but unfortunately so is a front between the Nortenos and Surenos.

I recommend you find a place in the Castro if you're looking to get charged-up.

well i'm home
 

california is ok. nice to visit my parents but i would hate living there, which is basically what my parents say. To do anything you have to drive FAR, there are no suburbs, it's all highways and cities. We drove over 1200 miles in the week we were there. the roads seem to not make any sense, the drivers are absurdly bad. several times we hit traffic jams because someone lost something off their car and it was in the lanes, like an armchair and large hose were 2 examples. We saw a lot, san jose, san fran, monterey, sonoma, lake tahoe, santa cruz, carmel, alcatraz. San fran is pretty cool and has a lot of things there, i don't know how people park on those hills, we walked up one and all the way up coit tower overlooking the bay. tons of stuff, lake tahoe was my favorite, i'm much more into mountains than i am beaches or deserts. It was cool but i'll never go back for vacation, one plus was that my pops paid for almost everything so aside from airfare the trip was almost free. hustler i did see some of your crew even though i never made it to the castro distict, even if they are super gay do they really have to wear capri pants?

those ARE the suburbs! SF is the one city up there... MAYBE san jose, but only in the last 10 or 15 years.

hehehe
