Great thread idea Eric.
I love living in the central valley. Most don’t… But it’s a country lifestyle. 2 hours from the beach or Yosemite. Far enough away from any big cities. Just enough delta breeze to cool down in the evenings.
I grew up in norcal, but Turlock will be “home” to my kids. I’ve traveled most of this VERY big state, and there is certainly a lot to admire!
PS - random side note… I’ve lived here 40 years and never once heard a Californian refer to it as “Cali”.
