Orange County California question.....

[aphex]

Why is it that pretty much everywhere else in the nation refers to the city they are from, yet people from Orange Counry, California call that as their home?

I don't go around saying im from Manatee County Florida......

 

[jtusa]

Johnson County represent!! YeUH!!!

 

[SofaKing]

because the oc rocks...besides the fact that it is infested with right-winged conservatives.

 

[pray4mojo]

Cause it has two theme parks and 50 million beaches.

 

[LtPage1]

because everyone knows where it is. if youre from washington dc or manhattan, you dont say district of columbia or new york.

i always say im from northern california.

 

[Brutuskend]

Cuz down there it may as well ALL be one BIG town!

What kind of crappy example is that?

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Um, we don't usually. People just do because the others have a better idea where "The OC" is because of the show. If I were to say, "I'm from Garden Grove, California," people would be like "Where?" So if you say that you're from the OC, people are realize where you're from...

 

[her209]

People also say their from East LA.

 

[PoPPeR]

when people ask where i'm from, I say "San Francisco", even though i'm really in Walnut Creek and part of Contra Costa County. Most people around here do the same. So not only do we not tell them our city, but we dont' even get our county right

I heard it before the show though, people saying they are from Orange County california....

Up here in Northern CA, I consider anything south of Santa Barbara as LA.

well orange county was famous before the show. For what reason, I don't know, but I know I knew where orange county was before the OC came on the air.

Like sociallychallenged said... if he told you he was from Garden Grove, what would you say?

i dont' say that because people don't know wtf CCC is. If Orange County wasn't famous, those people would just say "i'm from LA." You find the closest famous thing that people know and that's what you tell them.

Got any good pics of your town/area? I've always wanted to go over to Oregon, maybe even move to that area one day.....

 

[dionx]

well when people say they are from San Diego, alot of people are referring to San Diego county. San Diego county is comprised of so many cities like Chula Vista, National City, La Jolla, Mira Mesa, etc etc etc etc that many others in the country wouldn't know where that is unless they say San Diego

Add to that: Dana Point, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, Nellie Gail, etc... go South Orange County! =)
