    Yes, and I am afraid to go to Oceanside for just that reason. I went there once and was horrifed. The language, the behavior...it was frightening. And I have been told to be REALLY careful there after dark. It is extremely dangerous.
    I live about 20 miles east of Oceanside and it's not scary after dark. For years I worked directly across from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and it's not a scary place either. I also go to Coronado and watch the races at Naval Air Station North Island. Coronado is full of boutiques and is one of the nicest areas in San Diego county. Just like anywhere there are bad areas and good areas. I just think it's silly to call Oceanside "extremely" dangerous.

    Sorry, I am always wrong and admit it.


    I love Miramar....the noise and the planes.

    You are right. Silliness begets silliness and I was over the top. I will say that every time I have been to Oceanside I have witnessed a confrontation and sometimes physical.

    I once suggested to a marine and his wife that their profanity-laced tirade toward another man whose car was where they wanted to put their car was inappropriate considering the toddlers in the back seat. The wife flew out of the car and took off after me.

    Last Sunday we took a motorcycle ride down the coastal highway. There was a group of very short-haired young men on motorcycles with racist and violent insignia. Just past Solana Beach we saw them again...in a confrontation with police.

    The few, the proud, the dangerous not only to citizens of Berkeley.

    Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about your experiences around here . I'm fortunate to have had relatively good experiences in the area, but won't deny the over the top sailor's language in that area. It's such nice of a scenic area and hopefully one day it will completely clean up.

    I would love to explore the pier there but just don't want more of what I saw/heard in town. I do enjoy Solana Beach though!

    That's disgusting. As much as I absolutely abhor "W" and this war (now) and think we need to leave in an orderly manner, I fully support the troops. This is not THEIR war...it's Washington's. The military does defend our country and if Berkley doesn't like it, then maybe they should secede and make their own little country and see how they do...oh and they can't come crying to the U.S. when things don't go their way.

    ARGH!


    Don't buy while shelter dogs die!!
