15 Sure-Fire Ways To Make A Northern Californian Mad
Northern California is pretty typical of the West Coast. Those of us who live here are pretty laid back and look for the good in most folks. There are just a couple things that really get us fired up, however, and most of them are because of how the rest of the country perceives us. Here are a few things that really make us mad.

There's a whole other half to this state that's one of the biggest in the country, for Pete's sake.

Yep, all we have is sky scrapers and multimillionaires.


California isn't all big cities and suburbs, our small towns are amazing.

Did you know there are some cities and counties in Northern California where palm trees are illegal? Placerville is one!

These are Roosevelt Elk. Betcha didn't know we had those, did ya?

There's nothing like yelling it out when something satisfying happens, like finding a giant nugget of gold.

Remember the Gold Rush? Why millions of people moved to California in the first place? Yep, that was in Northern California.

Don’t get us wrong, those are some amazing wine destinations. But did you know that the entire state has some truly great wineries? We love the wineries in El Dorado and Amador Counties - they are so worth the trip! This is the back deck of Lava Cap Winery in Camino.

The ocean front may be rocky and cold, but nothing beats hanging out at a Northern California river or lake in the summer.

Really? We have 4 amazing seasons here in Nor Cal! You must be thinking of Southern California.


It's frustrating to no end to see our water get piped down to Southern California. Just remember where that came from every time you turn on a tap in L.A!

Ok, to be honest this one actually makes us laugh more than it makes us mad.

Yeah, right.
