Oakdale, a semi-rural farming community

I have lived here for about 10 years. Except for rush hour traffic on F Street the area is relatively quiet. We are the "Gateway to Yosemite" in that both California State highway 120 and 108 pass through Oakdale... both of which go to Yosemite National Park. This is the reason for the totally ridiculous traffic jams, especially on Friday afternoons and Sundays where F Street becomes one big traffic jam in a city of only 21,000 people. Hershey's used to have their west coast chocolate factory here, until they moved ALL operations and manufacturing to Mexico three years or so ago.
