Smile Clearlake, California info wanted

Hi can anyone tell me what it is like to live in Clearlake, California and I know Clearlake isn't very big, but is there much prospects for employment in the computing and driving fields. Also, if anyone has any photos of Clearlake township other than what is on this web site can you please email them to me or send me a link so I can get a better look at Clearlake? Thank you to those who can help me out.

We've been here about a year and are still blown away that we live in this beautiful place. the town is a mix of poor to rich(definitely not us) of course, but we dig the diversity- in all ways. There's alot of funky mobiles and summer homes along with the influx of "mcmansions" and the upscale .Not much in the way of nice old buildings though- but the older cabin resorts have a cool retro vibe going on and the ones getting fixed up seem to be keeping the look. Don't expect great streets or sidewalks (rare).And we occasionally see an appliance pop up on a vacant lot- disgusting illegal dumping.For years it had -has?- a rep as a meth and crime town but we have yet to experience the effect of this ourselves. Our income isn't dependent on the local ecomony though this may be an issue for you. It has alot of potential- and we encourage craftspeople and artists we know to check it out for affordability and it's possibility. Also -all our neighbors are wonderful-did we just luck out?

Wow Gfro you are so positive about Clearlake. That is great to hear. I live near there and actually try to stear clear of the town. It's fun to be out on the lake and they have a couple good restaurants there. It just seems pretty run down. There are nice areas around it though. Middletown, Hidden Valley Lake, Kelsyville...

I guess I am. Those towns are nice too but a little cute. Clearlake is rough but remember that this is the kind of area ( beauty and affordiability) artists and craftspeople move into first before the town becomes popular- we already have several tattoo parlors (lol).
