NOT!!!!!!!!!!! What about all these reported incidents of hate crimes and
racial discrimination (as reported a couple of weeks ago on a posting concern-
ing this very issue)?

Best feeling in the world is walking through downtown San Francisco wearing my
Dodger Blue cap and jacket!

I did not seem that the LOS ANGELES RAIDERS were really Oakland Raiders in
disguise when they decided to stay in Southern California for the next decade
or so.

That was San Diego, which by some people is jokingly considered a suburb of LA.
Anyway, many people I know at UCSD don't even care about LA or Bay Area teams!!

Giant fans are, in general, more vocal about their hatred towards the Dodgers.
By the way, the Dodgers have more important things to worry about: Braves/Reds.
We don't hate Oakland, in fact, we liked it when LA almost swept them in 1988
(GIBSON IN THE NINTH)!! I believe the contrary is correct when saying the fans
didn't like the Bay Area in general. Most people I have talked to in Northern
California are more adamant about not liking LA. People I know down south are
pretty much indifferent towards the Bay Area.

I don't want to state my opinion on where to live, it is up to the individual.
I lived in Southern Cal for 15 years but I been up here a couple of years
attending UC Berkeley. So far it has been great but I miss So Cal.

Just my 8% of a quarter's worth--
