What's your closest major city?

[dderidex]

0 miles to Portland, OR.

I've lived in about every situation, though. Grew up in a 3k town around 50 miles from Cleveland. Couldn't stand living so far out, you can't do anything. (And it's not like I'm just talking clubs, either - choice in restaurants, movie theaters, plays, museums, etc - there isn't SQUAT that far out from a city. It's nice to be able to walk to any of a dozen great restaurants, have a nice lunch, go see a play and spend an evening at a museum, and walk back.)

California coastline runs east-west for about 130 miles, from Santa Monica to Point Conception.
There's a slight north/south range between those points, but it's predominantly E-W.
I'm in the Santa Barbara area, which is mainly west of LA.
The actual living proof

Here, the Pacific Ocean is due south of the land.
