[quote=dumbrenter][quote=Thibault][quote=spdrun] What area of town are you in? [/quote]
I live in Carmel Valley just off the 56 freeway.
It’s nice and clean but overall very sterile.[/quote]
Now, that could be the source of the problem!
Carmel Valley is the total opposite of Paris. As other posters suggested, why not move downtown/hillcrest?
It will not make you feel any better, but I hated every minute I spent in Paris (had to for work reasons). A collection of rudest and most inconsiderate people ever to be found in one place. Couldn’t wait to get back to carmel valley: the land of shallow people and polite facades, people just like me.
For somebody who likes paris, I can see why carmel valley would make you homesick.[/quote]
It’s not *that* bad…. I only almost got run over by a soccer parent in a big SUV twice this week…Down from almost every other day….
