How do Native Californians feel about out of state transplants? (to live, moving to)

I guess I didn't read your prior posts on your background. Didn't realize common in NorCal. Very interesting.

Not that important. I was just trying to make the point that the action shifted South in the 20th century, especially during and after WWII. SoCal was kind of a backwater until then.

I was a transplant to southern California for years. Never once felt negativity from native born Californians there. There are so many out of staters though. I did have a friend who was born there and she would say she hated how crowded it's become where she lives. But it was just about the crowding and not that she disliked transplants.

I'm a California native and when I was still living there I never cared if somebody was a transplant or not. The only time I even gave it any thought was when they would try to bash on California or say back in (insert another state) we had this or we had that. People from New York and back east in general were usually the biggest offenders.

One thing I would/will miss are the small,family run Italian grocerias that are stocked to the hilt with authentic Italian food items, dense loaves of bread with a THICK chewy crust and all sorts of olives, pastries and Italian cold cuts. Oh,and let me not forget the myriad cheeses, too. That I will miss.

I'm hungry.

Ummm...bagel and lox ARE ethnic food, are they not? Jewish.

I'd trade a philly hoagie for some real mexican food (or real Cal Mex) if that could be arranged. Could even be that El Patio stuff that Fontucky likes.

Fontana Mexican food helps dull the pain of El Patio being 60 miles away.

And out here and further south and east, Califoreigners are the biggest offenders.

Go figure!

That'll work too. All we get back here is Salvadorean. Just ain't the same.
