for someone who knows very little of California, I've actually heard of Claremont. Though I hear the card board boxes in Mar Vista are quite nice.
well i might go to school in either pomona or fullerton. and because Ellen and I would love to hang out with you guys (live with you guys in order to save on rent). So i think out of the possible choices i would choose SAN DIMAS just because the ataris wrote a song about their high school there. and another choice would be La Habra because it is close to Fullerton and Allister wrote a song about a city called Fullerton! hhmm, just some ideas for you two. We love you guys and know you will make the best choice. let me know if you need any more advice about getting a home i have lots of ideas.....trust me!
Yikes! Those are some nasty commute times! Why not try Torrance and the surrounding areas? I had a few coworkers who could afford cute little houses there. Good luck!
