Concur with SDR.

The neighborhoods of Las Palmas Ranch, Montclair, Quiet Hills, and Rancho Verde Estates (ranchoverdeestates.com) are all very nice and worth considering…the first two may get a little freeway noise, though. The further from those developments you get, the more eclectic Escondido gets so be wary.

One other thing worth pointing out about south Escondido: the old Chatham Brothers Barrel Yard located at 2257 Bernardo Ave. It is a superfund cleanup site – drive by and you’ll see vent tubes sticking out of the ground…it’s eery. The site used to be a barrel yard where trichloroethylene, benzene and polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs leaked into the ground water.

This leak formed a plume that headed southward towards Lake Hodges. This threat to the area water source lead to its inclusion on the superfund cleanup list. The water table below the site is slowly, year by year, being returned to an acceptable state.

More info on the site can be found here:

and a map of the plume can be found here:

Note the plume does not touch any of the neighborhoods I described above…they would all be nice places to live.

How hard can it be for one of the largest companies in the world to just tell all of the engineers that everyone is fired if they can’t make a smoking hot, sexy, fast car that runs for pennies and also makes women want to take their clothes off. [/quote]

Yes, I was pretty disappointed when I saw the production Volt too…they should have stayed spot-on to the show car like they’ve done w/the Camaro.

However, at least even the production Volt looks a boatload better than this:

I know that it is not the same a smoking pot. In my youth I had plenty of experiences with pot and it is a gateway drug. [/quote]

Most all of my acquaintances that used MJ (hey I grew up in the 70s, if you don’t have friends that do that, you don’t have friends in the 70s) never moved to anything stronger.

Maybe you’re talking about the other way around – people who use stronger drugs almost always started with MJ.

If that is the case, then consider the words of the late George Carlin: Mother’s milk leads to EVERYTHING!

Wow – I’m surprised by the amount of support for legalization.

Maybe it indeed is time to put it on the ballot. Just maybe it is…
