the run down on oc...south county is pretty soft and nice (i kinda like it just gotta ignore some people)
north county though is real average america. besides a couple towns north county is real average, low income, economy class, and in some cases hood. kinda like how santa clara county used to be before the mid 90s.
go to garden grove, westminister, santa ana, garden grove, stanton, hawiian gardens, or the old parts of tustin. then tell me wtf those places gotta do with "OC" or "Laguna Beach."
its like when haters say "oh frisco is just gay! baaaahhh, blah blah blah."
but anyone who has spent time in frisco knows the deal. orange county is a pretty big place that goes beyond the beach city life.
