I was born and raised in “the Valley.” Yep. An original Valley girl.
After losing my house in the 1994 earthquake, I couldn't wait to get out if that hell hole.
Now I live in Sonoma County (NorCal) and love it here.
I'm still a true blue Dodgers and Lakers fan. And I do miss the Jewish delis and some other restaurants.
But I don't miss the traffic, riots, floods, and general narcissistic attitudes.
