I moved back to Cali when I was 12 (lived in Virginia from ages 2 to 12)

I went to schools in Oakland and Alameda then transferred to Juan Crespi Middle in grade 7 and stayed there til High School. I fucking hated that place. Anytime I see it, I get sick to my stomach

I went to Pinole Valley for the first 2 years of HS. Not good times there either

I went to Kennedy High and De Anza for summer school too

i live in morgan hill, close to san jose, just moved here on july 30th. i haven't had the chance to get out and take pics. very much or explore the area....trying to get un-packed, son registered in school, etc.. but i'm curious to explore the region, and meet some of the other orgers from around this area! so far i like it here, but the cost of living for a nice place in a safe area is alot (for me) $1,850 a month compared to $975.00 a month for the same kind of place over in the sacramento area. so it'll take me awhile to get used to paying this much over here.

In the 10 years I've lived in the Bay, I've only gone to San Jose ONCE

That's b/c there's not many reasons to go to SJ

I live in San Jose. I wasn't born here but I was raised here.
Here are some pictures I took last summer playing tourist in my own town.

It's that time again to breakout my trusty camera and start snapping again. I was down at the San Jose Jazz Festal this past weekend and noticed that there are some new Downtown Doors artwork. The Downtown Doors is a art contest for high schoolers in San Jose. The winners get their artwork displayed thru out downtown on doors or walls. I have to say we've got some talented kids around here.

Oh btw bboy I get a discount at See's Candy. I'm just saying lol.

bboy87 said:

Haven't you gone here to see Prince? Since 1997,he has performed here several times.

funkyslsistah said:

Did you see Prince at the San Jose State Event Center in 1997? I was there for both shows He also performed there in 2000.

SoulAlive said:

SoulAlive said:

I wanted to see the Musicology concert but couldn't get tickets

then when he performed a show with Tamar in SF, I wanted to go but I didn't know my way around the city by myself and I ain't gonna spend hours until 1am for him to show up. I had school in the morning!

CalhounSq said:

I like San Jose.It may be as "exciting" as Oakland or SF,but it's a beautiful,pleasant city.Low crime rate...great place to raise a family

I could never live in a big "tourist attraction"-type city.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

lol..it's funny,I am always in downtown San Jose and I still have never met you Last weekend,I went to the jazz festival.Had lunch as Poor House Bistro near the arena.Excellent cajun food!

CalhounSq said:

I went to Fremont for the first time back in June. My mom and I went to New Park Mall

bboy87 said:

Fremont is a nice little city.It's like a small San Jose Beautiful neighborhoods there.

lived in the city for 15 years--until 2 yrs ago. i lived in lower nob hill. i shopped in union square and the embarcadero center. groceries @ cala nob hill. my friends lived in adam's point (near the grand lake & sunrise casket outlet). so, i knocked around that area a lot. plus, i went to the castro to hang w/ another good pal. i miss it sometimes. but, i'd be in heaven to move to santa cruz county... maybe aptos... swoon...

SoulAlive said:

It looks really nice out there

bboy87 said:

I think Deniece Matthews (Vanity) lives out there

NDRU said:

lol,yeah I heard that mall has become really ghetto.

CalhounSq said:

Sometimes when I go to Oakland for a concert,I meetup with my friends at Jack London Square,for dinner and drinks before the show.

bboy87 said:

Actually the Newpark Mall is in Newark so I guess you still have not been to Fremont yet

I used to go to Bayfair Mall in San Leandro and of course I go to Southland Mall in Hayward all the time but I am starting to like Newpark Mall better.

SoulAlive said:

I know the church she attends/preaches at is in Fremont, not exactly sure if she lives in Fremont or not.
