JQP,

Known as the "smog belt". My sister went to the University of Redlands and I'm convinced she lost a few years of her life living there.

You should've seen the place in the 70's before the air quality people got started cleaning things up. To have 10,000 foot mountains a few miles away and not see them through the smog was sad. Remember sking at Big Bear and looking across the valley to see smog so thick it looked like a fog bank.

Just can't imagine people spending $500k to live there.

Michael

I know exactly what you're talking about! I used to love to play racer up on the ridgeline road in the mountains east of LA on my VFR. Coming down into LA to go home on the freeway, sometimes the entire city was obscured by a really sick looking yellow smog. You wondered how anyone could live there.
