Nobody can get hurt playing PLAYSTATION 2.

FON-TUCKY.....Home of Kaiser Steel Mill built in 1942... Blue Collar Town, home of Frank Zappa. After the Mill was closed and carted away by the Chinese the demographics changed from White, to African American, to Hispanic and now is becoming a Middle Class bedroom community. The town has always had a hard edge. The reason the Steel mill was built some 60 miles inland and not on the coast where transportation costs would be lower was that the US government wanted it to be safe from Japanese bombing or shelling. Now it's the home of an International Speedway which stands on the old Steel Mill site.

Highland California....Home of one of the most prosperous Indian Casinos in California...San Manuel. Also home of one of the State of Californias NUT HOUSES.......Patton State Hospital. Highland at one time was beautiful before surban sprawl set in. Beautiful Orange Groves...I talked to a man who moved to the Old town area in 1960...there was an irrigation/small stream that ran along the road in front of his house that he said there were trout in. That the Orange trees branchs would touch each other across the road......now there are No Orange trees nor stream.....just asphalt and cars.
