Moved the family out there to Eastlake (a suburb of SD) and began work. The work, in and of itself was fine, but my God....I realize that I am an old codger - but I simply couldn't stand living there. My Wife loved it, but I couldn't take it.
To say that it was 180 degrees from Kansas City would be an understatement. Now, as a kid, I lived in LA for a number of years - back in the 60s.
SOCAL is NOT what it used to be. I could list the things that I absolutely hated about it - but the thread would end up in the Romper room. Needless to say, when my company told me that the start up had been a success and it was time for me to "come home" I couldn't wait to call the movers!
Don't get me wrong - San Diego is a glorious place to visit - but to live there? Not for me.

You lived in Eastlake of all places and didn't like it? Lol.
Alright, do tell. I gotta know what you hated about it. I mean, Eastlake is nothing but new housing development suburbs. There's literally nothing in Eastlake but brand new homes, new roads and a freakin' lake. What is there to not like? It's not like you were living IN San Diego. You were basically living in a brand new part of town with very little around you but beautiful new homes and brand spankin' new roads. The idea of someone not enjoying that does not compute.
