Review of Arcata, California


Please Don't Visit
Star Rating - 12/2/2008
Arcata is already way too crowded with well meaning, well educated, clueless carpet baggers. Please if you can't enjoy Arcata for what it is and have this over powering need for community involvement and cultural renewal-go to L.A.. there's lots of improvement needed there. Thank you.

Hey shut up I'm a sixth generation Angelean whose watched my share of transition in my area. My ancestors came out here in the 1800's, with ranches, and farms, watering holes,and dirt roads. Stop sereotyping a land invaded by newcomers.
