Remember moving to S.A. from Los Angeles 1975, three blocks to Costa and three blocks to Fountain Valley & Garden Grove within five minutes. It was a great place to grow up. All military families back then...

[@southlandchannel]

Around that time one of us attended the elementary school off Santa Clara and Bristol. Sounds like the other end of SA, but you were both likely there around the same time. Thanks for watching. SC

@@southlandchannel in know the area! I was up by Fairview, Segestrom Harbor, area. Still had strawberry fields, and your area had orange fields...

@@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531 I miss those open fields around here. It's all buildings and concrete. I used to ride my bike on a track off of MaCarthur and the River Bed. It was a huge open field we called Drop off hill for some reason. A lot fun to ride as a kid and not have a worry in the world. This was in the late 70's to the early 80's. It's all gone now. The cement factory is long gone and OCTA has an area for the busses to be parked. I can't say it enough I miss the wide open areas and the horse stables that used to be in the area and so on. I learned a few years ago I lived not more than a half a block from former Sec. Of State Mike Pompeo. He also went to Los Amigos as well.

Santa Ana is my home town. Grew up by Santiago Park. Moved to Arizona in 1978. Santa Ana was fun growing up in the 60s and 70s. Unfortunately it's not so great anymore.

[@southlandchannel]

The city has actually done a good job of rejuvenating portions of it, though there are surely some challenged areas. Thanks for watching. SC

@@southlandchannel thank you, and good to hear renovation in progress

[@nohandle8008]

forgot to update your description, it says Pomona not Santa Ana.

[@southlandchannel]

Thank you

Incorrect - Despite its three-letter code of SNA, John Wayne Airport is not within the city. It’s on unincorporated county property.

[@southlandchannel]

Perhaps you are correct. Our research indicated it is concerned in the City of Santa Ana including the address being Santa Ana. However, we are will to concede those public sources and there by ourselves have it wrong. Thanks for watching. SC

The Worst of Santa Ana is still better than the best of LA

[@southlandchannel]

Being from Orange County our bias would likely agree with you. However, recognizing that all cities have their positives and negatives, we would just say that Santa Ana and Los Angeles are distinctly different flavors of the Southland. Thanks for watching. SC

[@saiddustintoney1366]

I'm from Santa Ana and I love it, but I love LA, too. There is something for everyone in LA. I'd never talk bad about either city.

[@deeznutz6426]

Real talk....😂😂😂

[@paulrom446]

It's interesting 😎! I've heard Santa Ana Winds pronounced like Santana! And this is by Native Speakers of OC Up speak! So like I dunno?

[@southlandchannel]

Santa Ana is a very diverse community with people who depend from many different central American countries. This perhaps could be the source of difference. Our apologies if our narration pronunciation is incorrect. Thanks for watching. SC

[@paulrom446]

@@southlandchannel Oh no! No problem I'm just fascinated with the various pronunciations of words and regional dialects I used to have Cousins who lived in Orange 🍊 County and my ear picked up on it! Kind of similar to the word 'Advertisement' I've heard it phonetically pronounced like either Adver tize ment or Adver tizz meant and this is in all regions of the United States

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

SANTA ANA! SAY IT RIGHT!

[@southlandchannel]

Thank you. We are glad you agree. SC

[@richardbenitez1282]

This is silly. What you consider worst only seems so by the ignorant when 4 th st is visibly held up against Santa Clara st. This is dumb because 4th st adds far more vitality and business tax base than a few tony homes on Santa Clara. In other words 4th st is 1 million times more important than almost any st in Santa ana.

[@southlandchannel]

Sorry you did not like it. The video is meant to be a sampling of the city, not a definitive tour. Comments are general facts about the city and not meant to be judgement one way or the other. We appreciate you watching. Hopefully, you will enjoy some of our other content better. SC

[@mortenvinding]

Pretty dry documentary

[@southlandchannel]

We are working on finding our voice. We appreciate you walking and hope you come along for the ride. Thanks SC

[@richardbenitez1282]

This is a poor presentation of Santa Ana. Amazingly poor.

[@southlandchannel]

Sorry you feel that way. Our intent is not to drag any city or cherry coat its flaws. Though only for a year and decades ago, I lived in Santa Ana and attended public school there. I've worked in Santa Ana and attended college there. It is a fine city with some strengths and some weaknesses. What do you feel was lacking or miss represented?

[@imustacheyouaquestion1]

No one speaks English, selfish people, crime is high, unsafe to raise kids in, unsafe to turn your back. These videos where the person just takes a video driving their car down a random street does not tell any story at all.

[@southlandchannel]

Sorry, you did not like the video, but we appreciate you watching. Give Santa Ana a try. Lots of friendly people who speak lots of languages, including English. SC

[@aldairt4899]

Safer to raise your kids in Santa Ana than south OC, unless you wish your kids to become ignorant like you
