In answer to your question about Southern Temcula, in addition to the nice things I mentioned before, I find that life just feels calmer up here and people ARE nicer.
As I may have mentioned, we are renting in Redhawk, and the neighbors have been friendly and nice. We dont have kids, so we merely put up a xmas tree – not a theatre-production sound and light show on the front lawn. The neighbors knocked on the door – a group of guys – and offered to put up lights in the front of our house. They were hanging lights all over the street and had extras.
It’s not perfect here, but whenever I go to San Diego and come back, I feel a sense of calm as I approach the 79.
It is VERY VERY family oriented here, too. I dont have kids, but have been impressed by all of the family activities that are offered.
One of my chief complaints is a lack of original, non-chain restaurants. With a growing wine country, you’d think the food scene would be a bit more savvy, but it’s not.
