Welcome to Turdtown, home of The Floaters.

Sunnydale, meanwhile, has highest homicide rate.

Well, it did until it fell into the Earth.

That's what happens when you appoint demon hellspawn into public positions.

I HATE SUNNYVALE CALIFORNIA!! For some reason, when I log in to yahoo messenger to talk to the one contact I have on there (you know who you are sweetpants! ;)) there's a weather plugin that runs and no matter how many times I tell it that I live nowhere near Sunnyvale, CA, it tells me how much nicer the weather is there than it is here. FARK YOU SUNNYVALE!!!

/Gonna send Buffy after the Yahoo weather plugin guys.

Now a bunch of farking douchebags are going to move there as if just breathing their air can change your outlook on life. The power of douchebag vs. happiness is an inevitable triumph. Eventually they will all be douchebags cursing at the sudden influx of traffic on the roads.

"Denton, Denton, you've got no pretension
You're where the heart is, you're OK
Denton, Denton, I'd just like to mention
You're the home of youth
You're America's truth
You're Denton, Denton, U.S.A.

This is the Mecca of America

The Bethlehem of the West

This is the birthplace of the virtuous

The home of happiness"

- 'Denton, USA' from Shock Treatment (1981)

Hey, I grew up in Crappyville... err Coatesville, and I can tell you that we are certainly hap... You know what, screw it and screw you Sunnyvale.


/lived in Sunnyvale as well.
//Coatesville is not happy.

Did Willow go nuts again and cast a spell to make everyone happy?

Yahoo! is headquartered in Sunnyvale.

Came for Buffy references, leaving pleased. Very pleased, indeed!

Blahoo is headquartered in Sunnyvale. That's enough proof for a hellmouth's existence.

I've been there for work reasons. Looked like a pretty place to live... if you are a tech firm corporate building, that is.

My cousin lives in Sunnyvale - he says there's never a shortage of weed and illegal mexican laborers.

Apparently the reporter didn't GO to them, but they do exist.

It did snow that one time, though.

This must be a different Sunnyvale CA from the one I'm familiar with.
The one I know is a featureless suburb on route 101, full of office buildings and traffic.

My town used to be the "Best Mid-Sized City in America" about 10 years ago. Once the secret got out, a bunch of assholes showed up and ruined it. Now it doesn't even rank in the top 50. I guess 10 families living in a single family home decreases the appeal of living next door.

Agreed!

What do you expect from a town with forty-three churches, twelve gothic cemeteries, and an overabundance of dark alleyways?

 
coxinha 2009-11-20 08:21:18 AM  
Sunnyvale has some of the best Indian restaurants in CA, but not much else to recommend it. Maybe all you really need to be happy is a good vindaloo.

 
Crunch61 2009-11-20 08:26:31 AM  
It was a great place to grow up 30-40 years ago.

/would live there again

 
Farkwaddle 2009-11-20 08:34:13 AM  
I guess they didn't include the cost of living into the "happy" equation. Sunnyvale's house market is regoddamndiculous. My bro-in-law moved back here after he realized that even working as a DoD software engineer he wasn't going to be able to afford anything more than a 2 bedroom apt by a park. Wonder how many people in Cali are trying to live with a balloon loan?

Dude made bank and never lived outside his means.

Yep, that's how I remember it.

As much as I enjoyed living in the Bay Area...has it escaped people that the story is published by local news - not national?

Pretty sure she was on Angel.

What about East Saint Louis? Or Stockton, CA?

Yup, for most of the series. And so I seem a little less gay i'll do my part.

I don't know if it constitutes "doing" anything, but she was on Angel for a season or two.

Same thing happened to a city about 80 miles east of where I am right now.

For about 5 years in a row, it would appear in magazines in the top ten of one of the best smaller/mid sized cities for people to move into who were tired of big city life. A bunch of douchebags moved in, mainly from CA and TX (sorry, but it's true) jacked up the real estate prices, then eventually in some cases got elected to positions of powers and changed the rules to make the place more like the shiat hole they left in the first place.

Lived in Sunnyvale 11 years. One of the worst places in the USA if you are a single hetro male.
