"This is the best place to go if you're a hippie.. well, besides the Haight-Ashbury. It's located in Humboldt County, which is pretty well-known for it's marijuana growing. The community is great, there are always festivals going on about the earth, such as the Mushroom Fair, the Hemp Festival, North Country Fair, everything you can imagine. I love it here! The people are so supportive of you.. they've even made a law which states that women can indeed go topless around the plaza in the centre of town. ; )
Arcata is a totally unreal place to check out and LIVE too! The rents are cheap and it seems everyone is way laid back, with Humboldt next door and being amongst the greatest redwoods in the world, how can you go wrong!"

Comment: I just moved to Humboldt area from NE so I love it but I see it seems in decline,please tell me more about Brookings are there less tweaks and geeks or what? I just want to exist somewhere "cool" for "Amerika" Arcata is great compared to Vermont but still seems lacking. Is there any good live music would it be easy to start a jam band? Seems like more street thugs than hippies in Arcata...Johnny G

Comment: I''ve wanted to attend Humboldt State since I was in 7th grade and now I''m a senior and I''ve already been accepted and so far it''s still my number one choice. Of course, I am afraid of what I''ll find. I''ve read a lot about the homeless problem and the influx of rude SoCal kids into the region and it has set me back a bit but I would like to know what other people from the region think. I don''t know if I''d consider myself a hippie but I love peace, nature, and friendly people. I have smoked pot but I don''t do it regularly and I don''t plan on making it an everyday thing. I just want a beautiful friendly place to get a good education. I''ve considered UC Santa Cruz, Southern Oregon, and Evergreen, all notorious "hippie" schools but none have quite struck me as much as Humboldt has. I know ultimately it is my own decision, but some feedback would still be nice. Should I pass on this place or should I keep my eyes set on it?

Comment: Hey Sistergoldenhair: Judging from your posting I definitely see you as a kindred spirit. I myself am in my last year of classes in an ethnic studies program in San Diego, CA, but I''m still stuck here at least two more years after that to get my PhD. Although I live in Ocean Beach - San Diego''s hippiest neighborhood - it''s a daily psychic struggle getting by in this city''s overall "me-first" and pro-war environment. When I finally get out, the places I''m planning to look for teaching work (in descending order of preference) are San Luis Obispo, CA (to be close to family), Santa Cruz, CA, Portland, OR and Arcata. If you end up in Arcata I would be very interested in your opinion about it. I''ve only passed through it once but I instantly fell in love with it and the surrounding area. I used to regularly visit good folks in Albion (a tiny forest community south of Mendocino, CA) and Arcata totally reminded me of that vibe. And two 60''s-generation friends of mine had considered either Arcata or the Methow valley (WA) for the only two places they want to retire, so that of course really piqued my interest more. Best wishes to you, and hope things work out.

Comment: I have just moved to Humbolt Co. from the New England area, Vermont to be exact and after reading all the post good and bad here''s my humbolt 2 cents. First of all, I have lived in the four corners of this country and can say with conviction that there are homeless and "tweakers" everywhere. In Vermont which a lot of people might think is chill there is a HUGE pill problem, punk college kids who destroy anything in their path and on the flip side insane feminists and people who are so far up their own ass they could kiss their own spleen. Now I was homeless when I got here and hung out at the plaza mostly to find herb and although yes there are some parasites there I found most of the homeless people to be interesting and kind. Hippy is a very subjective word, I mean there are a lot of people who call themselves priests right, some are good people and some are child molesters. ( for the record I am not religious) So my point is that there is good and bad in all types. How many times does that have to be said in society before people stop ridicules generalizations. My experience here has been so positive that I am blown away. Here are some observations and comparisons to the east coast. Here people do seem to accept you even if you are different and I am, not so in New England. Here it is fairly easy to talk to and pick up a women. Here freedom of expression still exists i.e. people dress and act differently. In New England you are a threat here you are a friend. People laugh here not so in New England everyone is miserable. Here it is easy to make new friends, not so in a lot of this country. Here, minus Eureka, the police are kinda cool, everywhere else they are fucking assholes. So thats my opinion take it with a grain but before you condemn Humbolt as dirty hippy tweakerville, move to the east coast to see some real dysfunction...I love it here...Johnny G "hippy at heart" Peace and stop the illegal war...

Comment: My brother lives in Arcata and I live in Phuket, Thailand. He has invited me to come to Arcata several times but I feel more at home in Thailand because I had a sex-change operation (male to female). Now that I have read several comments about Arcata I absolutely DO NOT want to go there! I thank all of you ranters for being honest! Yes ranting does have a positive value (sometimes). I''m now an aging 54 y.o. hippie sex-change and I''m happy. Some of my friends say its the all acid I dropped years ago. I don''t know...I''m not sure.

Comment: Hello to my wonderful neighbors in the south.
I''m writing to you from the gorgeous state of Oregon. I''m currently finishing up my senior year at the University of Portland to achieve my B.A. in social work. I''ve been trying to decide where to go to get my MSW, with advanced standing, and so have been looking at UW and Berkeley and many others that I can find from the NASW website that might be a "fit" for my personality. I noticed on the website the HSU has a MSW program and accepts advanced standing students. So...I thought I would check out this website to get a feel for what it might be like to live in Arcata, CA. I have to say that I have read a majority of the postings, and I''m not quite sure what to say or make of what I find here.
I''ve been through your town once (1994 drive through), and was taken back by all the gorgeous old Victorian homes. Your town was so cute and quaint not to mention the splendor of the natural environment. Your town has always stuck out in mind. I guess I must have heard too many "old hippie" stories as well that led me to believe that your town was sort of like a really small Eugene, Oregon; progressive yet down-home.
I''m looking for a place to go to grad school that is less worried about consumerism and more concerned about our global and local community. I''m looking for a place where everybody cares about ALL the people of the community like it was a part of their family or clan. I''m looking for a place where everyone remembers that we are all connected, and that addressing all issues with compassion and empathy can only strengthen the community. I''m looking for a place that is aware that we are at peak oil and peak water. I''m looking for a place that wants to look toward the future with the mindset of sustainability. So...should I come down to visit and check out HSU to see for myself, or does anyone here have any affiliation with HSU to give me some sort of direction regarding that which I seek?
All comments based on love and kindness are welcomed and appreciated. Peace xox

Comment: You know what? I have been reading some of your reviews; peoples of nativity and not. All you you mother fuckers do is bitch bitch bitch. You have one of the best locations on the west coast for outdoor growing, not to mention the world,the circulation of genetics is outstanding, and your Ca pot laws are becoming more and more liberal. Take it on the chin. Shut the fuck up. If you "old grateful dead based families from the bay area" dont like it, move to Florida they have crippy. Times change. I know its crime ridden, and I am not trying to be totally inconsiderate. But its everywhere, not just your area and you California natives know it. So do all of us a favor, smoke some trainwreck, preferably indoor, and turn off your computer because no matter where you go there you are.

Comment: I moved to Fields Landing (3 miles south of Eureka) 4 years ago to get away from the hot weather, overdevelopement and gentrification of Sonoma County. I currently work with the homeless population here and can verify that it is as bad here as anywhere I have ever seen. Hard drug use, alcoholism and mental illness are the chief causes here and there isn''t a lot of support to treat them. What I find remarkable about Humboldt County is the political paralysis that infects every issue here. The last mayoral election in Eureka was decide by a margin of about 160 votes, divided between the winner, a pro-development candidate, and the loser, a progressive supporter of social services and the enviornment( the incumbent).These two opposing views of Eurekas future have placed the town (and the county) in a time capsule where nothing gets done. The Eureka Inn, a showcase inn once, has sat vacant for 3 or 4 years waiting for a buyer to renovate and reopen it. The Balloon Track, a parcel of several acres of waterfront property formerly owned by Pacific Railroad and now owned by Security National who want to put in a retail,residential village, complete with Home Depot and perhaps other big box store,essentially paving over highly polluted ground,has sat fallow for 5 years,tied up in litigation from those who want it to be properly cleaned up and would prefer the land to be used to build an enviornmental The waterfront is a contrast of beautiful marinas and village focusing on small shop merchants and an enviornmental studies center designed to attract enviornmentalists from all over the world to research and study global warming, energy alternatives,etc. Reggae On The River and the Kinetic Sculpture Race, both very popular events in the county are each involved in internal ownership battles over who has the right to produce the festivals.
The neighborhoods of Eureka have some of the most beautiful examples of Victorian architecture you''ll find anywhere,but they''re often side by side run down houses with neglected yards inhabited by drug dealers or borderline homeless.The waterfront is a contradiction of beautiful marinas and parks next to parcel after parcel of abandoned mills, railroad cars(rail service was terminated several years ago; now the battle is to either spend tens of millions to restore the service or develop bike trails along the rail corridor),abandoned factories and houses.
I could go on with more examples,but I hope you see my point. The future of this area is a real mystery to me.One thing I would love some information about is the possibility of Humboldt County being geographically located on energy vortex lines that give it what I can only describe as "bad karma". I''m not necessarily a believer in that phenomena, but I''ve heard that said about the area and my personal experience here supports that possibility. It''s such a beautiful area, full of natural wonders ,a thriving arts community and two attractive colleges, and yet somehow there seems to be a shadow over everything. Does anyone reading this have any info or thoughts about this? I''d love to hear them.

Comment: I grew up in Arcata in the mid 50''s and left in ''67 for Las Vegas, Nv. I missed the marijuana farms era. . .oh well. Had a lot of fun at the HSU faculty Salmon Bakes as a kid. I have not been back since about ''71 when I saw streakers running naked around the old statue of Mc K. There was a coffee house called the Lemon Tree just off the Plaza. If there are any readers who went to the College Elementary School, hello. I still see Dr Collins, MD from Sunny Brae once a year. I''d rate growing up in Arcata a five star event. Glad to see there are a few liberals out there. When I grew up the logging industry ruled and the heavens rained soot from their cone shaped burners. . . ah nostalgia.

Comment: There is a HUGE shortage of affordable housing here in Humboldt county... and Arcata is one of the more expensive towns in this county to live in. Most of the apartment complexes are own by SLUMLORDS like "Steve Strombeck", who takes advantage of naive college kids, may who are renting their first apartment, he violate fire codes, the building is in disrepair, and he will look for ANY excuse to kick someone out and rent to someone who will pay more.
so, NO Arcata is NOT "affordable".
then on to the "homeless" problem.
one thing folks there is a HUGE difference between a "hippy" and a "parasite"..... uncleanliness, and dreadlocks does NOT make a "hippy"
"hippies" are creative, insightful people who care about their community and make an effort to get involved. some might even get mistaken for a "yuppie", why? because they cut their hair, have a job, and bathe regularly.
the dirty people hanging out down by the plaza are NOT "hippies" they are parasites. most of them are addicted to everything BUT marijuana.
thats the funny thing about humboldt county. You come here expecting to find a bunch of peace loving, community oriented "stoners" . and you find gangs of vagrants, mostly "tweakers" and pill junkies, if not, raging alcoholics.
But it''s all in how you look at it, you will find what you seek and MORE here in humboldt.

Comment: I spent several days in Arcata and my head is still reeling! What a beautiful setting~~redwoods, ferns, summer flowers, palm trees, Victorian houses, and a cool college. Go Jacks! But....I had a couple of experiences that were just plain WEIRD!! The 1st day there (I stayed at the Hotel Arcata) I took a stroll around the plaza before breakfast and couldn''t believe some of the people hanging out there. One girl/woman was barefooted, her feet were caked with dirt, her clothes were rags, and she seemed off in another zone--now, I didn''t say she was stoned, because if she had been sampling the local Humboldt Hooch, as my pals call it, she would have been more motivated to seek a better lifestyle.
She was actually pretty, but obviously she has some kind of mental disorder and NO!!! SHE''S NOT HIGH! Raising my window in the middle of the night proved to be quite a show....I kept seeing homeless people digging around in the scrubs for a place to sleep. With no screens on the windows, and no air conditioning, I felt creepy knowing those folks were just out there. I called the front desk and told them and they went out to the alley and said, "All right--you can''t be sleeping here!" Well, I was shocked when I saw about 5 people emerge from under the vines and ground cover! The 2 I saw hiding in the bushes didn''t even come out. I called the front desk and told them 2 more were there after I thanked them for roundin'' up the others that I didn''t even see! The cops were called and they were actually nice to the bush people about leaving. No police brutality here.
The other weird deal was at the redwood forest in town. I was by myself since my "party" was enrolling at the college. I had several cameras and had just stepped into the path when an "on the verge of looking homeless" man stepped out from behind one of the trees. He asked, " Are you a photographer?" I replied that I was just a tourist taking pictures and I sort of backtracked out of the path since he made me feel uneasy. Then he said, " I was born in these trees!" And I replied,
"Oh my!" and I casually ambled out of the forest...then he said, "I''m not shy!" Well, I kept on ambling because I sure as hell didn''t want him to show me how NOT SHY he was. Creepy!!! So, I guess he is one of the reasons folks who visit Arcata say the town is overrun with weirdos.
Now, here''s the coolest thing that happened to me there....my party went for a casual stroll around the plaza and stopped into one of the nicer places for a wine tasting. The wine was all gone so we went into a bar sort of connected to a restaurant and ordered drinks. The bartender was very nice, attractive, friendly, etc...Two local guys were there and we were having a fun time just talking about Arcata''s style. Then we found out about "215" which is a legal permit to grow Humboldt Hooch for medicinal purposes (tee-hee!). There was even a beer tap with HEMP ALE and a famous green leaf on it. The bartender gave us samples--not bad! Curious is my middle name, so I asked how easy it would be to acquire some of this...this...just what the doctor ordered "stuff"! My gal pal with a loud mouth to boot says, "We just wanna know where we can get a joint!" I was floored by her honesty....Now, gentle reader, what do you think happened next? The local dudes told us NOT to go to the plaza with such a request or we would be bombarded with offers from the folks with dirt caked feet and Bob Marley hair. Before we stopped laughing, we noticed before us on the bar....a little package that wasn''t there before. Was it---IT?
Let''s just say we left a generous tip. Why go to Amsterdam? Go to Arcata! Here''s more good stuff about the place: great locally roasted coffees, beautiful, unique flora and wildlife (We saw a FOX within the city limits!) Nice folks at the Hotel Arcata, friendly folks at the college, the Redwood Bowl (WOW!), Wildberries Grocery Store, the local farmers'' market -- best plums I''ve ever eaten! and there''s more....the burger place --can''t remember its name--had great food and their vanilla malt was perfect--then, there''s the pizza place near the burger place and it''s absolutely delicious too! Friendly folks at all these eateries! Oh, and I almost forgot (hmmm...side effects?) the local hemp shop was quite fun!
So, all of you folks who are worried that Arcata is weirded out--let''s just say--it is--just like every dang place in this world. I believe it''s a unique little niche and I''m glad I was there!

Comment: How come when I was in Humboldt County the only "hippies" I saw were homeless looking teenagers starting trouble with locals? I wish these people wouldn''t consider themselves hippies, the anger and hate I see eminating from these wannabes is not what hippies are about. If you''re one of these runaway kids please don''t call yourself a "hippie", it ruins the caring, kind, and peace loving image of true hippies from decades long gone.

I wish I had NEVER moved here. I have only been here for 4 months but already I have been witness to an explosion, had my car broken into by a tweaking homless person, and had my roommates car stolen, recovered and then attempted to be stolen again WHILE 4 of us were sitting next to it. STAY OUT OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY, it is a dump.

Comment: Well Well Well, yOU WILL HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS TILL THE END....
First... I now know where the arcata city council is getting their bullshit from. At least 2 of them that is. True nuf... Please dont come to arcata if you can not support yourself. This is not a hippy haven. My fair city has become a contentious, hateful, predijuice, unfriendly city.
Police will beat you down, city staff have hust made it impossible to get a vendors lic. in the city. The only agency actually doing things to help people get their shit together is being harrassed into non existance... AND BLAMED FOR THE FREAKS ON THE PLAZA... GET THIS THE 5 EMPLOYEES OF THE SERVICE CENTER ARE BEING BLAMED FOR "NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE BEHAVIOR OF THE FREAKS ON THE PLAZA" and for you ignorant asses who think that the center was some F@#$% hippy haven, let me tell you that you have no idea what the center actually did. Many home bound sick folk, diabetics, seniors, disabled people, mothers with new babies, and families that have hit hard times will loose the most functional resource they had. Hunger will be a way of life for close to a quarter of Arcata''s children.
I personally feel that Alex "stuck up capatilist snob" stillman" and Michael "paranoid jackass" machi should be impeached from the Arcata City Council. .
I think HSU students should protest Rolland Richmond. last week he sealed the hunger fate of 210 HSU students who depend on the food pantry in arcata to eat. Richmond wrote a letter to the city council telling them to close the center because it was a bad idea from the beginning. Homeless and hungry people could go elsewhere. FUCK you Rolland. Your students should protest... The funnyist thing he blamed poor enrolment and professor layoffs on the homeless service center and food pantry for the poor in Arcata! nevermind that the entire CSU is in economic crisis!!!! Yeah man hungry poor residents are the reasons your enrolment is down... It coundnt have anything to do with the fact that 4 year students cant get the classes they need to graduate so they are transferring out of the CSU system so they can get their degrees!
Gee do I sound pissed? yeah man I am sick of the rich and the elitist blaming the poor for the loss in sheckels to line their pockets. Maybe it is your immoral business pratices you stillman sycophants and machi paranoids. IMPEACH STILLMAN AND MACHI, FIRE THE SLICK SNAKE OF A CITY MANAGER.
I am also sick of people behaving like shit heads and the center getting blamed for YOUR bullshit.

Comment: I lived in Arcata for years. While I was there I had my home broken into by a homeless man, had a homeless man threaten to ass-fuck me on the plaza, had a homeless woman piss on my car, and last but not least had a homeless man steal my wallet and assume my identity. It''s a shit hole. Enjoy moving there you fucking hippie freaks!

Comment: Yeah, I live in humboldt and I love it here. I do wish that there were more blue collar jobs for people here. It is tough to raise a family here with the housing costs and food. However, I is like no other place I have been as far as equality goes. The people seem to pride themselves on it here. Grant it that there are always people living here that are not like that, but as a whole, you are more likely to run into cool people. Things are pretty tight here, but there is something for everyone too. I would say that if you are planning to move here, than you should also inrich the community with a business that will not hurt the envirnment and give people a REAL living wage. It is not easy but if you truely want to be here, you can if you are a fun creative individual.

Comment: Stupid hippies think they''re so cool and down to earth. We have a term for the washed out druggies that reside on the Arcata plaza, trustafarians, hippycrits, or just plain junkies. Most of the hippies you see on the plaza or at the co-op are just making hippies look bad.

Regarding the Dogs, your comments were rude, this posting looking for my sons dogs is because he is dead, Did you ever think the typos were because the person typing it was in a hurry and upset? The dogs were placed in the care of someone because they were standed, My son was robbed ,hit in the head and died due to a head injury substained by the trauma . He loved Humboldt county and had alot of freinds there and anyone that knew him loved him.

Comment: I can see no reason to go killing wildlife because people cannot learn how to live with them. Hiking in mountain lion territory is quite safe when the correct precaustions are taken. Those that encounter an attack are just a result of genetic selection weeding out the ignorant.
So, you kill two lions who you have no idea were involved in the attacks.
What is wrong with you people!

Comment: Arcata is cool. Actually Humboldt gets about 60 days of sunshine a year.
It rains a lot. Some areas at the northern end of the county get over 90 inches of rainfall per year. Jobs in Humboldt are scarce. It seems there are only the transplanted city folks, the retired and those on welfare. Yes there are a few jobs, but someone else had them for years before you arrived.
I''ve talked to people who still live there and they say that the real estate is relatively outrageous ( considering local incomes).The world is full of beautiful places.Go somewhere make some big bucks and move to one of them... young..

Comment: Arcata is a rich tapestry of experience and you wil find what you seek. The things i love include:mountains and beaches, rivers, hiking,acess to orgain locally grown food.Art, a small community(compared to a metropolis such as San Fransico) feel, family centered gatherings that focus on the talents and gifts of local artists and musicians.Schools that offer a diffrent approach to education(many charter schools).Compassionate use-215. What is a challenge for me:low pay/wages-high cost of living expenses, difficult of find decent housing.the rain and fog(the longer i live here-almost 10 yrs)the more comfortable i become,but i can never shake the feeling i should have more sun on my back & stomach.mold,ants,and more mold.the Eureka PD.I feel torn about the plaza(nice with the farmer''s markets-but what''s up with the police cameras?),the homeless situation(if I were not so lucky or had different life circumstances that could be me),resturants(although some stand out:Larrapins,Moonstone,Ritz,Tomo,Wildflowers...-we lack any that have the winning combination of consistent excellent food and service),HSU(lots of students add to the housing problems but educated people usually create a different community-lots of $ & time to invest in projects)and transportation(could use a little more funding,the eratic bus schedules make it not that easy).I think we have alot of the same problems as a lot of small American towns.Mostly, if you want to visit Arcata there is some beautiful sights.To live here takes a certain kind of person.What I see as home has been described as the moldy armpit of the united states.

Whats the differnce between Homeless a hippys?.. No one want to see a homless be homeless. but its getting outta hand, so those willing to try. should get the shelter first. if u arent will to try then maybee u have a nother problem. If u cant get help or arent will to try. TRY. TRY like I said. u will live in the shelter and find a job. and show your trying. or if u cant u might have disabled problem witch enables u from working. they have check for homeless people, but Homless shelter should help the homeless find place on top of u trying. more. if u agree with me,Im a hippy and want to help. but not hate, hippys like to spread the word.

Comment: Humboldt County sucks. Gas and real estate are crazy expensive. Homeless people are everywhere. The "Best Kept Secret" is actualy a dirty little secret. This place is horrible. People here are extremely rude. If you are black or asian you treated like trash, contrary to the popular notion that people are open minded here. Restaurants are unclean. The hippie leadership of Arcata blocks development from comming in and keeps homeless from comming out.
Weather? How about rain and more rain combined with fog and more fog. Even Seattle has nicer summers. The Beach and surfing? It is too cold to go into the water. Even if you didn''t die of hypothermia, the rocks will kill you. Crime? There is a high percentage of theft and child molesters here. Compare it to big cities. Per capita this place is the ghetto. This is your "progressive" paradise. Enjoy.

Comment: Greetings,
I''m tired of dumb people. While I do consider myself generally tolerant of others different than me, I do find myself becoming a bit less tolerant in middle age... such as:
People who do not spell check their posts on this site should not post! - Now that posters are prompted with Red underlines for misspelled words - please fix your mistakes before submitting!
Posters who do not fix their spelling make Arcata look like a place for really stupid people, even though the mis-spellers are often quite enlightened!
People who leave their *beloved* dogs with virtual strangers for months on end and then expose all readers to their emotional strife when they can not find them! If you care, and must leave your dogs, then develop a system to stay in contact with the caretakers - DUH!
Non-mentally ill hungry people please be advised: You will be expected to work your whole lives to provide for yourselves.
These days, US homeless people are routinely *FAT*, stop your whining! Poor in the state usually means having enough to eat, having transportation, a roof, and some medical access.
From,
A middle aged hippie, trying not to be a DumbAss

Comment: Ma, I just read the whole thing. I don''t really like yuppies and noticed them right off here in SLO; have had to live here for 5 years. SLO is going down the tubes fast, and I live right across from where they''re building many new box stores. Development like crazy, but still not very many good jobs here, either. (People are going to have to create more Hippie meccas.) Raised by working-class hippies in southern Cali; probably wouldn''t mind being around tweakers. Tweakers are a huge phenomenon, everywhere. 20 years ago, my sister, brother and all best friends were on speed in San pedro. Luckily, where I''m from, the "recovery" movement is a kind of transition that a lot people go through. It does sound like there are some serious problems in your neck of the woods, but if you are a young person, they may not phase you as much. I always tell everyone that the people are way nicer in Northern CA, It''s kind of cool that way.just traveling up North a little (to Big Sur and Santa Cruz) the people make an attempt to be accepting and tolerant in a way that you don''t find down south. prob because of the way I look, naw, I don''t know, I look like a hippie but was a punk in early 80''s then moved to a commune in VA. Am used to being around many kinds of people, feel comfortable around working-class; but still don''t really fit in. Aargh, have really given up on ever finding a place, and have a boot in down on the docks in Pedro, where half the force are women. I will live in Pedro and make some money, settle in Redwoods later. I hope it''s still there.

Comment: This is my first time to hippy.com, and thought I''d have a look at one of the best spots in the world for *me* - Arcata.
While I am a 40 something, a green party member, social worker, had a ponytail half my life, smoke 1-2 times a year, and am married to a wonderful artist, I can only conclude from all these posts that hippies are mostly a very angry, hateful, drugged up group. Huh?
All humans have their weak and unproud moments, but there is a river of hate in these posts that I have not experienced on a regular basis in the greater Arcata area. My experience has been just the opposite: Genuine, caring, interesting people working to get along, grow spritually, and have a nice relaxed time.
I don''t know if I ever considered myself a hippie, but do tend to be in line with some of the (stereotypical) ideals of hippies - not largely presented in these angry Arcata posts.
Most of what is posted here has bits of truth to it, at least one day or another. I swear I felt more hate scrolling through these posts than I did in the 2 years my wife and I lived in Arcata. These posts are almost a hate capsule of everything that went wrong in an otherwise very open, warm, progressive community.
I choose Arcata because:
Arcata works for us because as a community and environment it allows us to be who we are and supports us moving towards our potential. Many, though not all, communities can do this for most people. It''s up to each of us to find a place/space that feels right and nurtures us towards being our optimum selves. I''m not talking about the place with the best buds or parties. Just the opposite (for me) really. Arcata may or may not be "heaven" for you. Like many decent communities, it depends how *you* choose to participate/contribute in them, if you choose to be open to what they offer.
Arcata turned out to be mecca for us, so we''re getting ready to return, whether we can afford the cost of living or not. We all can, and must, make our personal mecca''s happen. Find a place that brings that out for you, and if/when you do, don''t be a rush to leave.
Happy Journeys - We''ll all get there :-)
ps and don''t let a few green meanies scare you off!

Comment: I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the discussion of Arcata.
I just moved from Arcata to New York after 6 years of living in Humboldt. I left because I grew up and wanted to make something of my life rather than scrapping the bottom of the barrel, eeking my way through life, trying to make a fortune growing pot. I agree the surrounding areas of the general Arcata area are beautiful, and I love living among the redwoods. The bad thing about Humboldt is the economy, that and the fact that all the southerners are moving up there and bringing all their cold hard cash to buy up the real estate, making the current selling prices astronomical....Even if you have a professional/healthcare background with experience, the salaries are very low, and rental prices are growing higher and higher every year.
Being a lifelong Californian, I know that Eureka has always been a travel through city, which means ALOT of riff-raff floats in throughout the summer time....it tapers off when the rain starts in strong, but anyone whose lived in Arcata, Eureka and the outlying areas know Humboldt has a huge homeless issue. Did I mention drugs...yeah hard ones. I thought it was just about the pot...I thought it would be really mellow, and earth loving hippies, and it''s not that people aren''t that way, but I''ve met so many drug addicts, crack, speed, heroin, young people, old people, alcoholics....it''s all there, in abundance. I worked at the co-op and the amount of theft by these peace loving hippies, is absolutely appalling. The Co-op though, is the best and biggest of all the co-op''s I''ve visited even if it is run by schmucks. The Co-op in Bellingham, Wa. takes a very close second as it is cleaner, and there organic produce department is gorgeous and always looks so taking care of and loved.
I love Humboldt though, don''t get me wrong. Mostly because of the beaches, and the forests, the headwaters, and of course the Trinities Alps just a couple hours away. This is the supreme backbacking spot in California, and I miss it enough to come back home for one more summer...and I wish seeing all the VW''s....they''re missing on the East Coast and it makes me sad :O(

Comment: Pad Thai
(adapted from Eating Well Magazine)
1/3-1/2 lb. dried rice noodles
2 tsp. peanut oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ lb small shrimp, peeled and deveined (I’ve also used cooked shrimp and added it last)
2 cups mung bean sprouts
½ c sliced green onions
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 ½ Tbsp. fish sauce
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. Chinese chile paste with garlic
2 Tbsp. chopped dry-roasted peanuts
In a large bowl, soak rice noodles in warm water to cover until they are limp and white, about 20 minutes.
In a wok or large deep skillet, heat oil over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 10 seconds. Add the egg and cook, stirring, until scrambled, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and stir-fry until they curl and turn pink, about 2 minutes (If using cooked shrimp, add with the noodles).
Drain the noodles and add to the wok, tossing with tongs until they soften and curl, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts, green onions, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and chile paste; toss until the shrimp are fully cooked (or heated through) and noodles are heated through, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve immediately.
Makes 4 generous servings. (I’ll have to provide the nutritional information next week, as my software isn’t working.)

Comment: How times have changed....A couple of posts below actually suggest living in Rio Dell. Incredible. When I was in Arcata in the 1970s that was the last place anyone wanted to go to. Quick change red lights, very hostile police and locals were the norm. If you had long hair or drove a VW Bus (I had both) going through that town could be a nightmare.
About Arcata....My wife and some friends and I went back to Arcata this fall for our 30th reunion. It is still a magical place with some surprising contrasts. Arcata now has money. At the same time, it has a whole lot of people who have chosen to live on the streets. It used to be called "little Berkeley". That name is even more fitting today.

Comment: TODAY IN ARCATA
First, Harry went to lunch (yes, this is a break that those of us with a job take; its a ritual participation in food, usually away from the work place and using food we bought ourselves) and was leaning on his car while smoking before coming back to work. While enjoying the love of the nicotine, a 15 year old GIRL asks for a smoke. He says no, sorry, and she says "god, you are like the 5th person I have asked!!! Everyone is a bunch of fucking assholes!!" Nice. Real NICE, missy.
Somewhere downtown at about the same time, Tina and Julie step downstairs for a smoke break. A mere 15 yards away a drunk guy takes the longest piss on record right next to the fire station. As soon as he taps it, shakes it, does whatever it takes to try to avoid piss on the hands, he walks with great determination over to his buddy and shakes his hand. Yeah, it was the same hand he held his cock with.
As if he didn''t remember (30 seconds later) that we watched him water the telephone pole and surrounding regions, he walks right up to us and asks for a cigarette. We say no, look away while he attempts to ramble on about his lifestyle. It went something like "I am a fucking alcoholic, living on the streets, but it''s cool. It''s just the way I am. Hey, wait, let me tell you a joke." Linda responds, "dude, we''re trying to have a break from work, so why don''t you just keep on walkin'' buddy." From him comes an unexpected "ok, cool, don''t kick my ass, ok?" You scared, bro? You just had your cock in the wind and now you''re scared of 3 chicks? Oh, wait, we aren''t just *any* 3 chicks. I might''ve been scared too.
Don''t you want to move to a place where 15 yr olds bum smokes from strangers and a bum''s cock holder is offered to friends as a greeting? Welcome to paradise.

Comment: i want to comment on "Chris" from 2005-12-01 16:29:38. He and his kind are the problem with Humboldt County. Dumb fuckers who want to save things they know nothing about, who are about as useless as corn in shit, and who cant spell to save their own pathetic lives. What happened to intellectual debates about current events? Perhaps because of people like Chris, all the intellectuals left-who would want to be associated with a county full of rejects that couldnt make it in other walks of life.

Comment: Shut the Homless shelters down, because people abuse them, Humboldt county is a small town, and for there to be this many homeless they all shure abuse it, Ive seen it down there in Ukiah, and you know where all the homless people go from Ukiah, They go to Humboldy county, shame, Build the homless shelter and they will come, Say no to the homless shelter, and living in a tint well if you camping then camp ,but if you plan to live in a tint for few monthes well, then shut the dam shelter down, because it isent helping them, so you that why the debate is that they dont wanna build a homeless shelter, I think they should let you stay at the homless shelter Under one Condtion and that is, you need to find a job ,and find your own place and if your not they kick you out, and a Oficer staff at the shelter need to work indivigual with each person to make sure there doing it, or they cant stay.
but homless is getting out of controll and a 300 bed shelter is only ganna make things worse, and more and more homless will be here, and they will rase the crime, rob homes and rob banks , this isent so good,
300 people is a lot, I bet they wont agree to that kinda thing, they should only help humboldt county resident only, with a Humboldt county ID ,and if your from some other county then they wont let you in
