El Cajon: We're no more redneck than Chula Vista, Oceanside, or Escondido
I live in El cajon and I work in El Cajon. I have spent a considerable amount of time growing up there as well. I also have been to the El Cajon Grand, and I must say that as much as you try and say that El Cajon is not a redneck town, you sure paint the Grand as some kind of whites only establishment. You say, "I hadn’t thought about it till now, but it’s mainly a white crowd here.". I've been to that bar and its not mainly "whites" in there. They have a multitude of ethnicities who work there; there is an Asian bartender, an African-American cocktail waitress, the owner is Greek, numerous Hispanic bartenders. I'd mention that one of the bartenders is Italian, but maybe that doesn't count since she looks white. I see that you went to the Chaldean restaurant, but didn't mention that you looked around and saw a bunch of middle easterns, but I guess THAT comment could come across redneck.— March 20, 2009 4:44 p.m.
