    I moved to Texas in 2005, needed to get out of bug city. San Pedro was one of my weekend getta aways. Oh how I miss that place, Point Fermin, even Sea World, so you know how old I am. When we visit, we always take time to visit that area and have a meal at the Cheese cake Factory. Hopefully we'll get out again when they get the high speed trains in that area.

    Born and raised, but Pedro’s changed a lot. Still beautiful but not the same small town. Too many people here now. You used to know everyone and I’ll always love Pedro but it’s definitely going downhill.

    It blows my mind how i live only 30 Minutes away from this city, and it's like a whole new world that i've never even knew existed. It amazes me how vast Los Angeles is. So many different cities and neighborhoods you didn't even know were there even if you lived here your entire life.

    San Pedro has the vibe of an ethnic blue-collar neighborhood or town you’d find on the East Coast or In the Midwest. You definitely don’t feel like you’re in Los Angeles although it’s within the city limits.

    Sunny Aberdeen. I was thinking that the whole time and then you played The Smiths. (not a Seattle band but in spite of their success still a Indi Band). Cemented the vibe.

    Don't listen to so many of the terrible takes in the comments. This is a gem of a community. Homelessness and crime are a problem everywhere in California. San Pedro is a treasure and has dedicated local leaders. It doesn't compare to the rest of the city.

    There is hometown pride in Pedro. Lived there for many years. There are many problems there. Crime,homelessness, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Moved out after rampant theft of my property. Out of control kids . Out of control kids. Out of control kids. Rampant theft. Horrible uncivilized behavior from adults. Horrible drivers. Low ethics. Crime. Crime. I do not recommend anyone moving there. Many people are trapped there. Go visit but don’t move there. There are cool places there. I visit often but I know where not to go. The trash on the streets is the most annoying. Not a family oriented town.

    san pedro is one of those seaside places that has a lot of potential but has always had a creepy, cursed vibe. lots of homelessness, dead air, dead energy, dull uninteresting people. such a shame because otherwise it has everything going for it to get it poppin…
