modesto aint huge, and it ain't too fast, but it do go down.... i lived out there about 2-3 years and i almost got my aunties house shot up in 2 days.... had pistols and chops in my face or barked at me.... all the shit that go down in other spots.... and yes, there is blaccs in modesto.... mostly mexicans, but hey, this is california.... they push dope, kill niggas, catch cases, all that shit.... if you a turf rat you can get caught up in the dramatics and gang life, or get succed into the dope.... real chop, modesto is a pretty fucced up place....
