Southern California Is Really OK

Despite recent financial woes, despite lots and lots of people, despite freeway traffic, despite all the perceived warts, Southern California is still one of the most magnificent places on earth. The scenery, the food, the climate, the beach, the cultural diversity, the culture (yes there is culture here - and lots of it), the history, the architecture, the neighborhoods, etc., etc., make up an unbelievable tapestry. Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of "get away from it all" places; beautiful beaches and mountain trails (One really can surf in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon of the same day), country roads and parks (National and State). At the same time, there are plenty of places to be part of the crowd; amusement parks and attractions, sporting events, concerts, and so on. The choices are endless. In more ways than not, it is still paradise.
