I was on assignment in CA for 3 1/2 years in 1996-1999, and lived south of San Jose in Morgan Hill. Yes, I have been to Santa Cruz. I did not mean to offend you.... I should have said fellow conservatives & patriots exempted from my remarks. One of my favorite restaurants was near Santa Cruz but I can't remember the name. You could take a trolley down a steep garden hill to the restaurant or walk down through garden paths.
Hey, at least you’ve seen a little of which you speak...more than I can say for a lot of FReepers quick to jump on the “Boycott and Bash California” bandwagon. Not to mention 27 years here has left me a little jaded. Most of the liberal lunacy here is concentrated in Santa Cruz proper and the University. The rest of the county isn’t that bad.
CA in general is going down the toilet but some us are clinging to the rim.
That’s The Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola; nice place.
