I moved here about 7 years ago from San Jose and Stockton really isn’t that bad as people make it out to be. Sure there really isn’t much to do here, but you have to really look for it to get it. Stockton has so much potential to be something more and I’d love to see Stockton grow. Off course there are many bad things in Stockton but so does every other city in the U.S. I would say Bakersfield or Fresno is more like the armpit of California. :P jk
