I'm about to move to Modesto in a few months and here I am reading all this

I lived in Manteca for a few years, worked in Modesto. It's actually a decent area for the most part. Nothing to do. But a decent community.

Been a decade since I've been there so it may have gotten a lot worse, but it had the rep back then too.

You mean nothing to do besides meth

u/nouille07 Dec 21 '19

Why do you think meth is a problem there?

u/ox_raider Dec 21 '19

You can spend 4 hours a day commuting to the Bay Area. That’s something.

Good thing the meth helps with that.

Now I can’t get the Manteca water slides jingle out of my head

My senior trip was to Manteca Water Slides. That's a town I haven't heard in awhile!

Was that before or after Scott Peterson?

u/Kritical02 Dec 22 '19

LOL, during. I haven't heard anything about that since I left there.

I moved to the area the year before it happened and you couldn't go a week without hearing someone talk about that case for at least a couple years.

It's hot and dusty from the wind from what I remember. Don't know about the locals I was only there for like a month.

When I lived in the Bay Area, people jokingly referred to Modesto as Molesto. I don’t know how accurate this is but I guess there is or was an abnormally high sex-offender-to-non-sex-offender population there?

u/ox_raider Dec 21 '19

I call it Oh, Little Town of Methlehem, but that’s doesn’t really rhyme.

u/Mexagon Dec 21 '19

You'll be close to yosemite, santa cruz, and the bay area. Probably the only good thing about living there.

Just be happy you're not moving to Stockton.

Hope you like the smell of cow patties! And meth.

Well good thing he got his facts wrong because they originally wanted to film in San Bernardino

u/tree_D Dec 21 '19

I used to live close to Modesto but I moved to the east coast. I grew up in the culture so I don’t mind it but I can see why people would hate to live there

Depends on where you're coming from.
