1. Cool

I had an interview earlier this month in central California, Don't think the position was right for me though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I thought so too, my dear liberal N proud! And it's really quite accurate...n/t

[liberal N proud]

3. California is a cool state.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I have lived here many decades, and I so agree...

[a la izquierda]

5. Ahh, I miss sigalert land...

Mountains and places on fire.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear a la izquierda!

Lots and lots of fun out here!

[Kali]

7. hahahahha

"basically Oregon already"

"usually on fire"

"mountains in the other direction!"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. And that's about how we see it out here!

Maybe a CA native drew this...it is SO accurate!

[WCGreen]

9. I really like the basic Oregon already stuff....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Yea, that is funny!

Hi, Chris!

[AsahinaKimi]

10. Hella cool Peggy :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. It is hella cool, my dear Kimi!

11. My favorite: "idek, stuff i guess"

That was the icing on the cake from this apparent wine snob who knows nothing about wine

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Same here, my dear Duer 157099!

[tabbycat31]

12. That reminds me of the NJ map of stereotypes

[LiberalEsto]

17. Reasonably accurate

although not ALL Rutgers students are drunk.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I had not seen that one!

Thank you, my dear tabbycat31!

[LibertyLover]

34. OMG - as someone born and raised in New Jersey -

in the Well-to-do conservatives-Christie Country area, this is just too funny and too accurate! LOL!

[LiberalEsto]

13. Thank you for this, California Peggy!

It looks like my daughter will be moving to California (Los Angeles) soon and she'll get a kick out of this map.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. You're very welcome, my dear LiberalEsto!

This is uncannily accurate!

Hope she enjoys her time out here...it can be daunting!

[Duer 157099]

20. Also, they should make that

"stinky cow death camp"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Where would that go? Never mind, I just spotted it!

It sounds good!

[Duer 157099]

22. There are 3 stinky places in California

Two are on that map. The third is El Segundo, but that would be included in a map of LA area I suppose.

edit: no, Gilroy is not stinky!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. El Segundo is for sure stinky!

It's not as bad as it used to be. Decades ago, Standard Oil used to use the cloudy days as cover for burning off waste products, and we always smelled them! They have gotten better...

I live next door in Manhattan Beach.




Um, Gilroy can too be stinky!

[Duer 157099]

24. Gilroy smells like garlic, but isn't stinky

It's been years since I've driven through El Segundo, but what you describe was how I remember it. You always knew when you were passing through it on the freeway.

[logosoco]

25. Geography had never been my strong subject

but when it is laid out like this I totally get it!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Same here, my dear logosoco!

This is so funny and memorable!

[abolugi]

27. "hehe butt"

This made me lol!
We drive around the Butte's (The tiny mountain range) quite frequently and always call it The Butts!
Guess I'm not the only one!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Good to know it's authentic, my dear abolugi!

[Wounded Bear]

28. Well, they definitely nailed Orange County....

Spent thirty years there. Once had a guy actually say, "I don't know how anybody could be a Democrat." Then he looked at me kind of funny and said something about after that, I was probably one.

I didn't say anything. Hey, he was giving me a ride home and we were still 15 miles away.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Orange County is a tiny bit bluer now, my dear Wounded Bear...

They've even elected some Democrats! Remember B-1 Bob? He's gone, replaced by Hispanic women!


And I'd say you were smart, keeping your mouth shut back then...15 miles is way too far to walk.

[A Little Weird]

31. Nice map!

I used to live somewhere between 'vegas traffic' and 'rocks' - I thought the desert was beautiful! I wish I had been able to travel around the state more when I lived out there - now I'm too poor to go back for a visit. Oh well, maybe one day.

[MrMickeysMom]

32. I'm gonna give that to my niece...

She thinks she's gonna move there after finding Jesus...

Damn! THAT's where he's been hiding!!!

[politicat]

33. I spent years living in Usually On Fire, Mts in Other Direction, and near Giant Stinky Lake...

Um... Yeah. As geography goes, that's about right.
