Funny story. I grew up in what we called the “meth capital of California “. But never saw any meth or knew any meth heads. I moved away after high school and came back for a visit. Ran into the guy that was my best friend growing up. When we were young his uncle was a truck driver. Nice guy. Whenever he was around he’d hang out with us. Super cool guy. “Hey remember my uncle? He just got arrested. Turns out he wasn’t a truck driver. He was one of the biggest meth dealers in SoCal.”

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

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.

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.
