Small town on the central coast of
California halfway between
Los Angeles and the
San Francisco Bay Area. Nice small town that is slowly being destroyed by obnoxious
post-yuppies who move in with their vast fortunes and try to kill industry and growth, (not to mention school bonds) making life harder for the people who have lived there for many generations.
Oh, I almost forgot. Arroyo Grande translates as "Big Ditch" in English.
