My experience living in Porterville
-
8/30/2015
I moved to Porterville 7 years ago when I moved from the east coast. My first impression was the nice cooler climate with the majestic mountains nearby so it was good in the beginning. Also noticed that the traffic isn't bad either. Once summer hits with the 100 degree plus temp I thought to myself how can anyone deal with the intense heat, esp. with me so used to the cooler east coast weather. With the people here some can really be friendly and some won't even give you the time of day. And if you speak spanish that can be a plus with a lot of immigrants living here. I also notice a few old buildings like their downtown movie theater and a drive in one which has also been abandoned. The pricey grocery shopping here some have to travel to other places just to shop for cheaper prices. And as far as activities there isn't much here to do.
After 7 years of living here I'm ready to move out of this place and to better climate where I can breathe the air again.
