A low income area, surrounded by small hills that we all call mountains. Everyone wears SoCal shirts and vans, wishing we were just
like "
California People" but many have never seen the beach.
Everyone but the old folks thinks our town and the dead looking desert plants are ugly and just cant wait to leave.
If you live in this town, you know how many kids end up addicts and pregnant at 16. There is a huge amount of tacky people wearing pajamas at Wal-Mart, and a huge amount of people who just cant afford to leave but want the best for their kids.
Good kids hang out at the public park in the day with their
friends, drug deals go on at night. But no one is in danger, just too
bored. The only thing to get into is drugs and alcohol.
We are all more prideful about the neighboring city, Joshua Tree. We say, "no, yeah" when we mean yeah and "yeah, no" when we mean no.
