SMF and LAX to VA and NC
I wish I grew up in both Sacramento and Raleigh, two cities I didn't get more familiar with until adulthood...

I was born in Sacramento and spent my early life there, but was gone to LA before I started school. The rest of my adolescence between 5 to 17 included LA, Little Rock, Memphis, two different areas in Virginia, and Fayetteville NC. I do think my upbringing shaped me in some positive ways, but there's a disconnect from sense of place I didn't really have, until I returned to Sacramento at 22...

And later with Raleigh, I was 30 when I moved here. So ideally I'd have loved to have my entire upbringing split just between these two cities...

Or, just Los Angeles, which I believe is hands down the greatest city in America and I have some outstanding memories from both childhood and adulthood in LA...

Old York
I moved to New Ro 3 years ago and I like it here. Low key, not much crime, diverse, walkable, parks on the sound, a lot of amenities for kids. The downtown area has made a big transformation sinced I moved here. I'm walking distance from it and the sound. This weekend is artsfest weeekend, so a lot of art based events to check out here. This city offers much more than me and my wife expected. I've met a lot of parents who moved out here during covid that are from or moved from Brooklyn.

..back to the topic, I grew up in Brooklyn in the 80's and 90's. NYC was just overall grimey. I would have loved to grow up somewhere where I didn't have to worry about being juxed once I left my house. Growing up in Tokyo would have prolly been a cool experience.


Love it; congrats breh


those taxes tho :damn:


Don't sleep on white plains....stanford is cool 2 IMO .....
