Anyone have issues about their home town?

I mean, you can't complain too much about a small city in a hot, almost desert-like valley that's only 1-2 hours from the beach, big cities, Mexico, the desert, and the mountains... we have everything nearby. My biggest issue with Moreno Valley/Riverside California is that you need to get away from it to appreciate the few good things about it. I only live 45 miles away and I've started to appreciate that you can find a decent home in a decent area for a near-decent price (yes, even MoVal and Riverside are overpriced... it's California).

If I end up moving back to the MoVal/Riverside area, I definitely won't be living in Moreno Valley itself... 22 years in that city has been enough for me, thank you very much.

I pretty much had two small towns i grew up in in the same area as gphiangel lived. I grew up both in San dimas/ glendora area and also in Victorville( San Bernadino county).

I DETEST victorville and that is where i went t o HS and where i moved to when i divorced and bought my house. I also grew up and lived in the san dimas glendora area and absolutely love it there.

Victorville is getting to be purely ghetto and i hate it. No values or morals here and it is UGLY.

Where as Glendora there are morals and values with a small town family related feeling. When i sold my house last yr and moved here i was leaving a great church family , many perks to living in the san gabriel valley, and the feeling of safety , and the ease to get anywhere at a decent amt of time.

Where as victorville you have to COMMUTE.....no way around it.......the new houses up here are great and i LOVE my house , but i detest this place and the ppl here ...except for the few ppl i know that still live here.
