Bethel Island!!! I grew up in Brentwood. My Father was the mayor of Brentwood when I was in high school. I'm afraid to EVER go back to Brentwood. The last time I was there (1995) it looked like one big paved over housing tract. What was once a great very small town is no more. And Bethel Island was a very cool place. No more I guess.

Remember Lone Tree Way from Antioch to Oakley / Brentwood? I used to skydive at the old Antioch Airport. The whole place is a city now. A high school, a water park, shopping centers, office buildings and a million tract homes. I have my house up for sale right now and am probably heading to the east coast- cost of living is much better there. Moving within a month to Virginia or one of the Carolinas- haven't decided yet.

Roanoke area of Virginia can't be beat for job opportunity and cost of living. What type of job are you going to seek?

Of course I remember Lone Tree Way and the airport!!! There was very little along Lone Tree Way back in the "olden days". It would break my heart to ever see what is there now. I moved out of California last October (to the Oregon coast) and have not looked back. The quality of life is soooooooooooooooo much better here.

It's time to premier the new movie, Escape from Kalifornia, starring Kurt Russell, of course, as Snake Plissken.
