Thank you for the welcome. 

I am envious and if I wasn't the age I am and have ties to this place I would be outta here in a heart beat.

I'm fortunate I had no ties to CA, only loyalty to a company that had evolved into corporate America.  If I would have had family in CA, I'd still be there.

I was born and raised in Salinas and still live in the town I was born in.  All of my kids live in CA so I think I am stuck here.  Really at this point I am to old to move anyway.

Salinas is terrible. No offense. I was told as a little kid I couldn?t wear red or blue outside. A well armed criminal element there, as you know.

Salinas used to be a nice place to live in the 40' through the 90's but has went to hell for sure.  It has the highest homicide rate in the state or did the last time I checked and one reason I have a CCW.  I have a Salinas address address but live half way between Salinas and Monterey.  No way could I live on the East side where I grew up.
