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."
