neighborhoods/vista -- Vista
These "hollers" sure sound like press releases! Sure Vista can claim "climatic wonderland" as can any other north county city, Strawberry Festival? Spicy King ? Farmers market? I get it , you are the folks that go clothes shopping at the "Trendy" indoor mall and catch a movie at the Kervorkian theatre right! Truth is hell is probably o.k for a meal or festival now and then, what about the other 6 days? With the exception of a few choice areas with gated estates, the roads are in terrible shape, the strip "malls" are mostly vacant, grafitti and gang tags are everywhere, morning and evening traffic sucks but if your looking for used tires "bingo" got ten places to choose from and there are perma garage sales, just follow any side street...It's sad because the winning combination that Vista can claim is the Jail and courthouse in one convenient location! I grew up in and around Vista, went to school there and the city sure built themselves a Taj Mahal of a city hall! Not bad except this is the same city that threatened turning street lights off because of the cost. The same city that built a skatepark, destroyed it. Allows restaurant/ bars to open then has cops sit and wait to pull patrons over, the madness goes on and on day after day except that day the strawberry festival rocks the town! Well I must say the more inland you go, it only gets worse.— September 26, 2013 11:21 p.m.
