Carlsbad California
Carlsbad California
Carlsbad, California is home to the famous professional skateboarder Tony Hawke, who recently appeared on Celebrity Poker Showdown to benefit his “charity” services which build skate board parks for underprivileged kids and teens (or for kids who have no place to board).
Carlsbad, California is the birthplace of NASCAR favorite, Brian Simo, who took the Nextel Cup; Cal Poly Mustangs basketball player, Derek Stockalper; and Pennsylvania Quakers basketball player, Eric Osmudsun.
And Carlsbad, California is also home to Shaun White, snow- and skateboarding champion who took the Gold Medal at the Olympics; Guinness World Book record-holder Gary Hardwick, world’s fastest skateboarder; and Brian Simo and Boris Said, NASCAR race car champs driving, respectively, the great Chevrolet and Ford cars for Front Motor Sports and SOBE/No Fear.
It makes sense that Carlsbad has bred and sent out into the world some physically adept action figures—especially skateboarders and drivers of highest acclaim! It therefore follows logically that with the upward-sized town in southern California come great achievements and in the city exist great attractions for future residents.
For instance, the FOX TV series, Point Pleasant, is filmed in Carlsbad, California. The rocket research hardware supplier to NASA, Blacksky Corporation, is also housed in Carlsbad. And Switchfoot band members, Jon Foreman on vocals and guitar and Tim Foreman on bass and backup, make Carlsbad their home (away from home).
With a population in 2000 of close to eighty thousand, the moderately affordable city continues to produce winners of all walks. Living in homes that average about $330k (as of 2000), and earning incomes of over 65,000 on average, the residents of Carlsbad, California—who are, again on the average, about 38 years of age—are almost all at least high school grads, half of who travel under 30 minutes to work in respectable disciplines and fields in education, health services, social services, professional and scientific services, manufacturing, and retail.
The crime is exceptionally low in Carlsbad (with only four murders in four years, for example); and the weather is as moderate as the local temperament. Testimony of the quality of the city as a place to be born, to grow up, and/or to retire is all here, in the “trivia” about the great ones who come before.
