Nice post.....good to know. Surprised I haven't see the billboards yet.
The Valley is active.
Stockton been grimey. Easier to get away wit shit in Stockton then some of the close surrounding cities. Oh & Modesto definitely right behind Stockton in terms of being grimey, prolly not as hot in the streets as Stockton though. Besides that, there's plenty of reputable hoods all throughout the Valley.
Why people hatin on Stockton? It's coo, it's all west coast baby. I was born in the Valley. Different environment that's all. There's some good spots. It really aint that bad, its what you make out of it. Plus we right in between the Beach & the Snow.
