Escondido is a city in north San Diego county with around 150,000 people. The 15 freeway runs through it providing access to San Diego and Riverside. I like Escondido, the bus system is good once you get into the city and there are some good schools and sports as well. Some things are starting to become more expensive and many nice things are closing.

Escondido California is a wonderful city with so many activities for all ages. Escondido has so much to offer with our wonderful parks and recreation centers for the community. We have so many community members working and putting so much effort into each event for our community. I love the amazing and welcoming community we have at our local farmers market at Grand Avenue , where you can visit and support our small businesses see all the amazing art, and support our local artists in the community. One thing I want to see change in my community is our transient community. As the years have gone by we have seen our community and members be affected as many are without a place to live. It is very painful to see our community members suffer. I believe we are a very strong community and with the right amount of effort and unity, we can resolve this issue together.

Well what can I say I have lived here all most all my life and it has been like a roller coaster because it has changed in some way's and in other's it hasn't. Like for say there are a lot more people in Escondido and they don't have to many thing's to do around here. Like the way they did back in the 80's they had a drive inn and a family fun center, and they would have different thing's on the weekends to do. Like car show's they would hold them at the park and they would have carnivals it was nice back then because there wasn't so many people you can walk around and not have to stop to let someone pass. Also it was more nice because it had more tree's not so many houses like know that's all you see is houses down every street. Also it is nice to be able to go up to Dixon Lake and to the Park's and just relax with your family and have fun. I would want to see them put more things to do in Escondido because they don't have any places where you can go and hang out with your family.
