"Gee, Val, it's kind of...depressed, isn't it?"

As we cruised the streets of Vallejo over 11 years ago my mom really tried to keep her comments and questions about my new town neutral and diplomatic. I could tell she was thinking, "We got off the rez so you could eventually move here?"

Depressed, yes, but at least now we're not that different from the rest of the towns of this country. I know it's not the best place in the state Bay Area County immediate 20 mile radius, but I've come to love it for its unique ghetteaux style.
