Bay Area

North Orange County, CA and work in Long Beach.

Lots of guys outside of the Bay Area, interesting

Back when I had Google analytics years ago, it said that about half the patrick.net readers were from California and half scattered over the rest of the US.

VA Peninsula (Williamsburg)

Tenpoundbass is saying the same thing I have heard from my neighbor.

She grew up in Florida, and they worked their way north because it became a crowded mess. She remembered when Fort Lauderdale was pretty nice.

I rarely venture south of Northlake Boulevard in N. Palm Beach.

A lot of what I see in Florida reminds me of San Jose or Los Angeles, not in a good way.

Tenpoundbass says

South Florida is a cheesy Joke compared to what it once was.

Northern Florida my man. I like Melbourne.

But yeah, I've seen this happen.

Biggest example: Hollywood beach. Even 10-15 years ago it had something of a kind of chill, eccentric, boat culture vibe.

Now it's Ratchet Ghetto to the Max with tattoo'd ass twerking and little kids running around at 1AM on a Tuesday night.

The Midwest. Though looking to get out soon out of the dem hellhole. Weather sucks, taxes suck and stupid people keep voting dem no matter what. The ones that leave seem to keep voting dem wherever they go recreating this mess.

Why would anyone vote dem after -forget it. Much better to find a better place to move. Though these locusts arrive like the plague and destroy that and make it in the image of the thing they are fleeing from-fools.

At least FL is staying repub.

That's our beach. Jimmy Buffet took it over.

Now there's no parking on Hollywood beach other than a garage. They fill up early and it's pretty much full by noon on a nice weekend or holiday where the beach is popular.
We never even go, we used to BBQ right there on Johnson you can't any more.

and they never ask you to leave.

What's wrong with people that tolerate patnetters in their neighborhoods?

Because Patnetters fit in perfectly in hell. We may even be considered "Elite" in hell.

Philly pa

Near NW side Chicago. 125 yr old balloon frame. A lot of work to keep out the rats, and dog poop, snow and ice is a nuisance. All our needs within 2.5 miles so traffic not an issue we gas up maybe 2x/mo. Wish more kids played outside. I have lived here since 83 age 6 and i have only had my Halloween candy stolen. Once my car was shot up by gbangers. A lot of prejudice as most coloreds assume whites are from suburbia or midwest ghost town, our own relatives said we lived in a slum growing up. The shoe is moving to the other foot.

That used to be a problem in my neighborhood until a retired teacher 2 doors down became a crazy cat lady.

South San Diego County, closest to the border so far. Looking to change jobs soon and may move to North San Diego County, or Phoenix.

One of the brothers carrying a plastic bat, like that will do something.

The other brother carrying a pack of toilet paper..

You can't make this shit up.

Getting tired of all that sewage in the Tijuana river? That problem will never be fixed.

That's really only when it rains. We walk at the Tijuana Estuary quite a bit, it's the closest rural area in the city for us, and the river is at the south of the trails there. Only smelled really bad once that I remember.
Getting tired of the high cost of living in California. If I can get a big raise, will stay, otherwise will move to Arizona where pay is the same, but cost of living is 30% less.

Most Patnetters have submitted their location. Others, we already know their location.
There might be a couple who don't want us to know they are in jail.

The greater Seattle eastside-DC area.

We had Rodney King riots in LA in early 90s, this was when we had a black mayor. Looked about same. Koreans fought em off.

I'd think that by now, most ppl would use a VPN and not their local ISP, for internet surfing.

This way, whether or not I'm in Montreal, boinking away, or in Boston, drinking away, I'm only at my VPN site (NYC, DC, SF, etc).

And the criminal Rodney King ended up getting $5 million. Only in America can a criminal ever get that kinda compensation, when in many other countries they would be executed.
Now we know why we have such a high crime rate.

@cklaus76 What neighborhood? I lived in Park Ridge for 3 years and took the Metra to the city, working at Paulina and North. Wicker Park, basically.

I'm from the southwest Chicago suburbs originally.

SE Los Angeles county, Long Beach/Lakewood environs.
