Talk:Stockton, CA!/@comment-3531993-20190516213334

I live in (sunny) Stockton. You'd have to be from California to see the irony of moving to Stockton to escape ruined desparation. At least that's the way the coastal cities see it. Hollywood often depicts us when they need an example of conservative redneckery. i.e. Sons of Anarchy, and the tv western from the 60's The Big Valley.

Stockton has the Stockton Heat AHL Hockey team and formerly the home of the Stockton Thunder. The Stockton Ports baseball is one of the many history making events in and around the city (invented the Caterpillar track, the Duraflame log, home of Stockton Ports, etc.)

I can't see what Hynden's connection is, as she is from Iowa and lives in LA.

Stockton, aka. Weber's Point aka Tule Berg, aka Brick Town, aka Mudville (yes THAT Mudville from Casey at Bat), aka The Big Valley, aka Stocktone, aka Broketown, aka Little Detroit. There's more nicknames but I can't think of them at this moment.
