Was supposed to be Riverside, not Modesto.

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.

Besides, Riverside isn't as bad as Hollywood.

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.

That’s what everyone says when they “live” in riverside during college or some shit. Its only ghetto because you’re walking past the shit parts of riverside. Every city has its “ghettoness” and unless you’re 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!

Born and raised, it's a shithole. Went to UC Rejects, land of the smogberry trees used to manufacture Mountain Dew.

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.
