I thought “surely I heard that wrong” and did not. What is East California?? Tahoe??
Imagine going from New York to Tahoe and being like “I don’t need to see the Pacific. I’ve seen enough.”
Big “adding a random word to have the right number of syllables” energy
Proposed alternatives:
South: A good destination, but people don’t say “south California,” they say “Southern California”
West: Makes only 5% more sense than east, most of California is west
North: I feel like this is said (though “Northern” is more common), and as a NorCal native I must say….. really?? The Bay Area is great but you’re not going to LA??
Actual proposed alternatives:
Gold
Bright
Sweet
