I live in a small suburb – La Canada, CA. I guess it’s not THAT small anymore.
I do like it here. I grew up in the house next door – my parents’ home. I went to Joseph’s school (if that’s not surreal I don’t know what is). I keep running across the parents of people I went to school with. It’s a pretty place. People with lots of money live here, so it’s kept up rather nicely (not us – but my parents bought here about 50 years ago). A GREAT school district and schools, which is great with Joseph’s problems. Foothills and trees this close to L.A. is nice.
It does have its pitfalls though. There is a level of snobbishness here you don’t find other places. And since I’m a bit on the “different” side (ie tattoos & piercings I’m not ashamed to show) I get all kinds of looks. Those looks are straight down some highbrow noses. But that’s okay. I’m not here to be friends with them.
