Manteca is a melting pot for racial integration and spillover, specifically black, Asian, Latino, whites and other races moving to the Central Valley from the San Francisco Bay Area. Just like people move from L.A. to the Inland Empire and the Antelope Valley (Palmdale & Lancaster).

Housing in the Central Valley brings former San Francisco Bay Area residents to find cheaper housing to live in. Manteca will soon be like Palmdale, Lancaster, and San Bernardino.

Slang term for Manteca CA (a city Located in San Joaquin County and the state of California) due to the high density of drug use, most specifically meth.

Is a large town past Livermore down in the valley over the Altamount. People who live there say they're from the Bay Area when realistically they're part of the Central Valley along with Stockton, Modesto and Manteca. You will know when you have entered Tracy because of the smell of cow manuer in the air coming through the vents of your car. People who don't live in Tracy mainly go there for the outlet or Sonic's because theres no Sonic's anywhere in the Bay.

The teens and some 20somethings act "gangster" and believe they were from Oakland when they were born there in Cow Town. The people here are diverse but not as diverse as the Bay Area. The majority nationality is Mexican, then White, the Asian, then Black and the rest.

There isn't anything to do in Tracy but go out to eat, shop and hang around. Its common in Tracy to see kids waving signs, thats because they are pointing to the houses/model homes for sale.

So stop by Tracy off of the freeway from Livermore and get some Sonics.
