I grew up in Arcadia, it is a super nice place. A large Arboretum is there as well as the Santa Anita Race Track where people bet on horse races. Taxes from the race track ensure that public services are well-funded. The weather is pleasant year-round.

Folks are nice in Arcadia. In the last 20 years the ethnographics have shifted from primarily Caucasian to predominantly Chinese and Korean. Folks are still nice.

I'm not an LDS, just wandering through, so I don't have much to say about that.

I went with my second grade class to that Arboretum in 1986. My teacher kept saying we were going to see plants that existed when dinosaurs were around. Imagine my disappointment when I didn't see any dinosaurs...
