Aliso Viejo is a city of about 40,000 or so middle to upper middle class residents located in South Orange County, California. It is home to one high
school, and a place called the Aliso Viejo Town Center (or town center for short). Going to the movies and a fast
food joint is pretty much the only thing to do there as it'
s smack
dab in the middle of suburbia, situated between San
Diego and Los Angeles.
The city itself is a master planned community, and as such the cops and residents have a seeming obligation to be anal about every minor infraction. The police have been known for ticketing middle
school students for riding their bike on the sidewalk, and residents complain if a house is painted a shade of yellow that is "too bright."
