Torrance, my neighboring town. When we were beach bum teenagers in the '50s we went there often (we called it Redondo Beach then, now it's called Torrance Beach). We shop in Torrance a lot.

The weather is great, I love it here by the ocean. Victorville sounds like Arizona with the high heat and monsoons. Beautiful but humid!

I have to say that Torrance has great shopping. As for living there, forget it! The kids and I couldn't adjust to the weather down there. They were raised in the desert, and the humidity was not good for them. Victorville and AZ have similar climates. If you've ever taken the I-15 to Vegas, you'll pass right through this city. We're about 3-4 hrs from Vegas. The climate usually isn't humid except for this time of year. Yuck!

We're looking at land up in Phelan and surrounding areas like Oak Springs Valley, and Wild Horse Canyon. Talk about beautiful :-) As long as it isn't Los Angeles county.
