Talk about shithole cities..... I lived about 40 miles south of Stockton and while I've been through it on the freeway many times, I can count the number of times I've actually been in the city itself on my fingers.

They need to inject a whole bunch of "not-too-brown" border crossers from countries around the world into Stockton to dilute the dark chocolate indigenous population. It's sort of like using a weak variation of the deadly disease to train the body to combat the full-blown deadly version.

ReplyDeleteStockton and all the small towns between Modesto where all ag towns and slowly they all became bedroom communities for the Bay Area, houses popped up where fields were and as with many company towns when the jobs dried up, people left leaving the bottom dwellers who then outnumbered decent people and problems started.
ReplyDeleteDuring all my travels here, there, everywhere-mostly on my own- Stockton is the only place I felt unsafe.
