I've spent half my life in southern CA, and half in northern CA, so I see the pluses and minuses of both sides :)One thing I haven't figured it is NorCal's strong animosity to all things SoCal. Don't even MENTION the Dodgers up here. What's odd is the animosity isn't returned. SoCal is aware of NorCal but doesn't think about it much. And the Giants?
