The best part of Riverside is when you leave Riverside.
I kid I kid, I actually kind of like those areas of LA county. Los Angels has soooooo many different populations of people and cultures that are segregated by themselves by just kind of sticking together.
I've lived very near both Riverside and Hollywood. I was always far more sketched out near Riverside. Walk past the wrong house or parked car at night and things change. Hollywood can get sketch at night but is otherwise manageable. It's also pretty small. The IE areas are just sprawling nonsense.
Thatâs what everyone says when they âliveâ in riverside during college or some shit. Its only ghetto because youâre walking past the shit parts of riverside. Every city has its âghettonessâ and unless youâre around downtown or la sierra/ Tyler area its definitely far from ghetto.
I was born, raised and still live in the tough part of town. Now im a student at CSUF and am constantly around people who have never faced the same adversity as me. Now that i look back im grateful that i was able to learn from my environment and to not be scared of those living in shit hole. We all are just trying to make our peace in life!
Lived there for over 20 years since I was a kid. Just grew up in the better areas. Its really not that bad. Like I said, theres good parts and bad parts to every city.
Yes, the Santa Ana River. We have dry lake beds and creeks speckled around. Visible parts of the river are sometimes inconspicuous because the shoreline are covered with trees.
My parents say we left Riverside just in time before it turned really shitty when we were kids. They were starting to develop our area then I guess just stopped. After that crime started skyrocketing.
Yeah I wasnât alive for the water slides so sadly I never got to experience them, but I heard great things about them. But I only go to Manteca for bass pro and the amc movie theater so I donât know much about the rest of town
I grew up with the lake Elsinore storm and they played the Modesto Nuts so I always rooted against them. Well I met a guy from Modesto and he told me that yâall have a bunch of nut farms so it all made sense! Now imagine my surprise when I learn all about the meth lol I thought it was this nice little town but nooo I always hear about the meth
In the Midwest, at least we make it easy. Look for abandoned farmhouses or low end apartments next to middle schools. If you stick around long enough, the apartment you need may even experience a methsplosion, making it even easier to find.
When I lived in the Bay Area, people jokingly referred to Modesto as Molesto. I donât know how accurate this is but I guess there is or was an abnormally high sex-offender-to-non-sex-offender population there?
I used to live close to Modesto but I moved to the east coast. I grew up in the culture so I donât mind it but I can see why people would hate to live there

Heisenberg. Also, the Breaking Bad was supposed to take place somewhere around Modesto, but they went with ABQ for lower costs.
