CHS=IVC is a totally different can of worms that you might want to open in a different post... Speaking of mentality, that’s one thing you won’t be able to do at Calecia.com or in Calexico that matter is to change the mentality. Specially the ones that still believe that Calexico is still the town it was 10 years ago... sad truth... |

Of course everyone should get the hell out and experience the world.

I could care less if I look weak. The point is you aren't able to properly articulate your message, so everyone has to make up their own interpretation of what you're saying.
You're always welcome to start up topics on C.com, but make an effort to do a better job, man. No one is here to argue, but misinterpretation usually makes that happen. That and acting like a dumbass. |

I have to tell you that I completely agree with you.
Back when I lived in Calexico, I was a huge loser. Nobody liked me.
But ever since I moved away, my coolness has improved ten-fold. I was able to move to a new place where nobody knew me and begin a completely new life. Now I hang out with all these cool people at my new hangout joint, "The Despondent Tortoise". It's a little hole in the wall that can be described as a thai/italian/lebanese bistro/cafe. It's awesome because this is the first time I discovered a special organic soy milk that is cultivated by the indigenous people of Peru. "Man Calexico is a shithole," I thought, "If it wasn't for all those people teasing me in high school and subsequently causing me to swear revenge by belittling all those who have not followed my insignificant and extremely common path, I would have never have become this cool!"
In short, I know exactly how you feel. Let's keep up the good work. |

State of mind.
Why the question mark? Either it is or it is not. There's nothing worse than sitting on the fence.

No anger. Just don't play innocent bystander once you light the hay stack. I for one have encouraged every single minor to leave the town because it is true Calexico does not offer much at that age (18-24). Plus, there's nothing like expanding the mind and horizons of individuals, but at the same time Calexico can offer what other cities cannot. |

I don't know about low crime.
According to the recent Southern California Association of Governments’ state of the region report, there were 478 violent crimes reported per 100,000-population in this county in 2005.
That number was more than the numbers reported for the cities of New York and Boston and Ventura, Orange and Riverside counties.

| Perhaps we have a lot of meth type crimes but basically you can pretty much walkaround anywhere in Calexico without worries. We are not looking over our shoulders. |

I've lived in cities big and small, both inside and outside the U.S., but of all the cities I've lived in I have to say that Calexico has to be one of the best strategically placed cities in the world to live in:
Walking distance to Mexicali.
15 minute drive to the mall.
25 minute drive to the fairgrounds.
45 minute drive to Yuma.
2 hours drive to San Diego or San Felipe.
3 to 4 hour drive to Orange County, L.A. or Phoenix.
And have the best off road dunes in the country.
In most big cities you have to drive at 45 minutes to an hour (or more) to get to any of the entertainment you're looking for anyway. |

I have to agree with Chuco-Boy. I worked for the Calexico PD and did their monthly crime statistics from 1988-1994. I noticed an interesting pattern. While Calexico has a substantial problem with crimes against property (burglaries, car thefts etc.), the most common way to be a victim of a VIOLENT crime was:
A)to be involved n drugs
B)to be involved in a love-triangle
C)to owe somebody money (usually because of A)
D)to be involved in gangs
People seldom were victims of violent crime in the city when the did not know their attacker....I believe this still holds true today. |
