FilthyImp posted:The Valley around the 5/170 interchange is a giant smoke cloud this morning. I woke up and thought there was an electrical problem in my house because it smelled like smoke. Drove outside and it ws Silent Hill. Almost my exact experience with the Marin fires. quote:A "good" private school gives you access to cultural capital. Maybe you read at a 6th grade level, but your parents are friends with a hedge-fund manager and a Big Name producer or film-industry type donates time and money to the arts program. Or something. Your foot's in the door to fail upwards, at least. Almost my exact opinion of private schools! I went to one that was academically amazing the decade before I started, but there's clearly no competitive pressure to maintain that standard over time, so it became only pretty good by the time I got there. And obviously, I didn't help.

That looks like 405 just up the hill from UCLA, if I'm not mistaken

I lived in OC until I was 10, been in Riverside ever since (im 38 now), and yes, I loving hate everyone in OC , but man do I want to live closer to work. But I've bitched about that multiple times.

I haven't spent much time in the IE, but I have family in San Bernardino and that city makes me sad. It reminds me of the city wide version of one of those dead malls where most of the stores are boarded up. My impression of Orange County is that it's awful because it's full of rich fygm Republicans who're into fad diets and jeezus. These are my bad regional California opinions.

Irvine is just depressing to be in. All the subdivisions look the same and I swear there's some sort of cut rate landscaping monopoly because the whole city is just the same ten plants over and over.

http://www.ppic.org/blog/video-preview-statewide-election/quote:In the US Senate primary, incumbent Dianne Feinstein leads fellow Democrat Kevin de León, state senate president pro tempore, by a two-to-one margin in a matchup of the two candidates. A third of likely voters are undecided in this race, as well.

To be fair, if I wasn't paying attention to California politics the only thing I would know about Kevin de Leon is that he is not Dianne Feinstein... I suppose that alone should be just about enough to get my vote.

Nearly the entire city of Irvine is managed by the Irvine company, and as such they have a single landscaper maintain a consistent experience across the city. It’s also why every business in Irvine has the same store hours printed out front in the same spot using the same font.

The Irvine Company owns 1/5 of all the land in Orange County, and it encompasses several cities withing it's control.  Coincidentally, these are the parts people think of when they thing of "lovely, republican Orange County"
