Santa Ana is #20 on the list.
Thanks. I linked to the 2011 list apparently when we must have been cooler?
Lol! I also read that in 2009 Forbes ranked us among the most boring cities in America. Is that true? If so, we are a very inconsistent city!
I guess so!
Hey Art,I was wondering if you can post a blog or whatever about how the city of Santa Ana has just enjoined another gang injunction in the Townsend neighborhood.Id thought that I'd like to hear your opinion about it!:)
Just posted the press release. I have mixed feelings about injunctions as some have later been struck down by the courts. We really need to do a better job educating kids in the area.
Yes they do,however,I am really surprised that this might be the second gang injunction in the city of Santa Ana,but are 12 total gang injunctions in the County alone,I mean I love Santa Ana but come on,really!? 2 out of 13 for Santa Ana,I thought they should have had more injunctions,there should be more in the minnie street neighborhood in front and behind the stater brothers on McFadden,cedar and evergreen street by edinger,central and bristol/memorial park,the Lopers neighborhood,and all of the myrtle neighborhoods!these kids should know that joining a gang never solves any problems!do you think of the proposed injunctions that I said is too much?
"........Joining a gang never solves anything:"
Clearly neither does being elected to the city council!
