Yesterday we went to Santa Cruz, and I was left very glad I didn't live there. It seems as though everyone in Santa Cruz has just gone and Lost Their Mind. It's like if the underground culture of Portland Oregon went and got a whole city to themselves. Sometimes you can have waaaay too much of a good thing. People dress like they're homeless or crazy and homeless, and yet they're not at all, and people walk around this is completely normal. The city itself is GRIMY. Like Major City Ghetto grimy, but Santa Cruz isn't big enough to have a good excuse for being that dirty. I went into a restaurant, and it looked like it had been decorated by a high school drama club. You might as well have just painted, "We are freaks and we like it!" all over every single freakin' wall. Some walls were painted Pepto Bismol Pink and then coated in glitter. There were paintings of space ships and random shapes all over the walls in kindergarden primary colors. The men's and women's bathrooms were labeled "Robots" and "Aliens", respectively. And as it turned out, it was a completely vegetarian restaurant, but they don't say that anywhere. I guess they like to bait and switch innocent tourists, lol.

Anyways, that's my experience with Santa Cruz, and I have no plans of going back. [/rant]

ya santa cruz is pretty run down. always has been. i live about 45min from there. i go up there alot just to go to the beach. in the summer it is alot less homeless looking. there is actually normal people walking around with good nice clothes...well in the summer pretty much no one wears cltohes. they are typically in their bathing suits. it might be run down. but its the close so we go. plus you just gotta know where all the good beaches are.

I grew up near Eureka. Eureka is nothing like Santa Cruz. Absolutely nothing in common between those two. Eureka is boring, Santa Cruz is bizarre.

I like that about Santa Cruz. The people are more laid back and don't obsess over their looks
