I left over 20yrs ago.
Grew up there in Pittsburg (horrible place).
Moved to Concord off of Ygnacio for a year as an adult and moved out of the State.
I have found memories of Danville where I would get away and stay with GodParents when ever I could for weeks at a time.
Walnut Creek was fun reduce to clear shopping when the had the Emporium Capwells (maybe still there).
And the Sunvalley Mall was safe back then too.
Except for the year that the Plane Crashed into it at Christmas time.
We have some Freepers who live in that area.
One says they live in Pittsburg and its just fine. LOL Where?
Although I understand allot of the low income section 8 areas have been built over and relocated over to Antioch near Sycamore at the Condos. Horrible place.
I still have nightmares of my first apt. in Antioch.
Nice to wake up here in the PNW and be able to say “your home Dorthey”.
Where were you commuting from to go to WC?
From Amador County, nearest town at the time was Ione but I lived in the country. I was teaching at New Horizons computer learning center, just a hard right off the freeway. I hated going past Antioch every day, what a traffic mess that was.
Antioch has basically become a free fire zone for the black, Hispanic and ? gangs.
In the past half year, gang members shoot other gang members on a regular basis.
