Speaking of Modesto, CA

[preacher_dawg]

Y'all were so helpful with Australia, I thought I would also ask you guys if any of you have been in Modesto CA. It's another job possibility. Thanks ahead of time.

I got nothing...

Temecula, CA is a very nice little town though.

Australia or Cali....hmm. Any job offers in this country ?

Modesto-

- Northern end of the Central Valley.
- so its hot as balls in for much of the year
- its absurdly flat since its in the valley
- its in one of the most productive agricultural counties in the county, located in one of the most productive growing regions in the world
- Gang activity is high, even relative to other populated parts of CA.
- Overall region has strong transient population due to seasonal employment(Modesto doesnt exactly fluctuate though).
- Air and water quality are...well not impressive.
- being in a valley doesnt help with air quality, but it is pretty terrible either way.
- swimming in some(most?) lakes, streams, and creeks is banned.
- pollutants affect parts of the area's water quality from time to time. This is clearly due to the farming practices in the region.

I've been to Temecula. It's like being in the south of France as far topography and scenery. Beautiful land. If I were him that's where I'd want to go. Jeremy Piven's movie "The Goods" supposedly takes place there. Temecula is nothing like the movie portrays it.

The true testament to a place would be if glorydawg would let his kids use the bathroom there.

I now live in CA about 2 hours away from Modesto. You don't want to live there if you have a choice in the matter.
