San Marino, CA
Nice Growing Up There -
4/11/2007Our family lived right on the border of San Marino in the 50's and 60's. We went to the fine schools there and enjoyed a wonderful education. There were only 2 restaurants, one of which Woodys and Eddys was the only place you could go out and get a drink. My mother sold her house in 1998 and San Marino had changed whenever I came to visit. It's primarily Asian and extrememly expensive to live there but still a safe place to live.
Rockville, MD
Miss it at Times! -
4/11/2007We lived in Rockville, Md in the 80's and I do miss it at times. We lived on Bowie Rd. right off of Rockville Pike. There were at least 15 different types of ethnic restaurants on Rockville Pike. There was always a happy hour with lots of free appetizers. I don't miss the winters because it was dreary and cold plus I don't drive that well on snow.(from SoCal) Plus the humidity in the summers was downright oppressive. Lots of employment in Montgomery County. If you don't mind commuting on the Metro, there's even more work in DC. Forget about parking downtown, it's too expensive. I miss access to the Smithsonian Museums, concerts downtown, and the distinctive parts of DC like Georgetown and Dupont Circle.
Duarte, CA
Nice Place to Live -
4/11/2007We lived in Duarte for around 3 years in the late 90's. It was nice because of the jogging paths and trails for horses. It's a very quiet community, has a few nice restaurants and bars. Actually if you take Huntington Drive down a few miles, you have a plethora of clubs,restaurants and entertainment in Arcadia plus the Santa Anita Race Track. We lived in the hills right next to the "D" sign in the foothills. The views were awesome.

Not Like It Used to Be....Horsetown, USA? -
4/11/2007We moved here in 1999 because we had horses. Although there are tons of trails, there's too many people living here that don't give a crap about driving slowly. It's getting downright scary to ride down to the river. Although there have been sushi bars added to the mix of restaurants, there's really not a whole lot to do here. Thank God there's Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario Mills up the street. There's the Fender Museum in Corona next door but that's it for culture. If you want concerts, you have to go down to Pechanga in Temecula. Still if you want to keep horses,dogs, cats, goats, sheep, emus, or camels in your backyard, you've come to the right place.
