The City Full of Farming and Allergens User Rating 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I was born and raised in the Bay Area, California and am mostly use to being in the city life, surrounded by lights, tall buildings and a variety of shopping centers and restaurants.

I recently moved to the Central Valley, California. I stayed in Riverbank, CA for a short period of a time, I want to guess about six months or so.
