There is no ocean front in Paseo Robles . Why are they showing the ocean when talking about this town?
15. Capitola 14. Half Moon Bay 13. Paso Robles 12. Solvang 11. Auburn 10. Guerneville 9. St. Helena 8. Crestline 7. Arcata 6. Cambria 5. Julian 4. San Juan Bautista 3. Nevada City 2. Carmel 1. Ferndale
I'm glad you're showing these great locations, but you are not pronouncing names correctly, very distracting.
No one from California pronounces Highway101 (Highway One O One) as Highway One Hundred One. Also the pronunciations of some of the names of the towns are off.
I live in Santa Cruz. Most of the shots of Capitola are not Capitola, but shots of the Boardwalk amusement park (15 minute drive, longer to park), downtown Santa Cruz (about the same), the Santa Cruz lighthouse at Steamers Lane, and the Stagnaro's restaurant is on the Santa Cruz Wharf. Although Capitola is pretty cute, you can see all you want to see in about 30 minutes. It's mostly restaurants and a few shops. I mean, you should definitely go, buy some ice cream, and walk the Esplanade. Also, the Venetian Court apartments are boarded up because several large storms breached the wall and flooded them.
DUDE Your city pictures Do Not match the city you speak about. Very bad example of small towns if you show all of them at once. Yes it's California but c'mon accuracy counts along with the pronunciations of cities. You can do better.
I don’t object to the list, but I *DO* object to his pronunciations! Capitola. Paso Robles, Guerneville, St. Helena all pronounced…. Well…. Wrong.
Ferndale is my favorite too. I go up there a couple of times a year.
I have lived in Crestline for 6 years now, and I absolutely love it! 😊
Mendocino !
This is amazing, however you missed Murphys:)
I grew up in Crestline and I still live here. Our little piece of paradise in Southern California. Mountain resident for over 35 years. :-)
A few others: Calistoga Carpenteria Ojai Fairfax Petaluma
Had a cabin in Crestline for over 12 years, I absolutely love that town. The pine trees, the chipmunks, the climate and the lake makes you feel that you are in Yosemite/Sierra Nevada mountains. Been to Carmel (best), Paso Robles, Solvang, Cambria, Julian. Love all of them
These are quaint little towns but the price of housing isn't as atrractive.
Auburn has so much more to it than said here. The dome top building is the first courthouse with a museum inside, it's just above old town
Paso Robles has no beach front. It is inland. Some of the pictures are of Moro Bay
I love to visit Nevada City during Christmas time to attend their Victoria Xmas holiday that comes every winter. From a new subscriber that just discovered your channel.
Please Learn How to pronounce the names of the cities. California deserves this!
I’ve been to Solvang. I live in Humboldt County and go to Arcata occasionally, even lived there a few months. I love love Ferndale and go there occasionally also, but would love to live there. I live south east of it in an even smaller town called Rio Dell.
