Here is an honest and hard look at the town I grew up and still live in. I address the good and the bad aspects of this town and what this area is all about.

Aww <3 Love this video!

I lived in napa all my life until a couple months ago when i moved to South Pasadena -__-

I miss Napa. It's beautiful. But you're completely right about it!

The funniest thing about the tourists is when they get dressed up to go downtown. That's when you can spot them the easiest! Hahaha. But yes, it's a very sleepy town and very curious kids. Who sometimes like to get in trouble.

Anyways, thanks for posting this!

@imway2c00l Hi, thanks! Yes, those tourists can be spotted easily. In the summertime it's the men with khaki pants and Hawaiian shirts tucked in (or a tucked in polo golf shirt) driving a white or silver Chrysler Sebring convertible for a rental (sometimes driving the wrong way down our one-way streets). When they walk, they walk slowly and appear aloof. Very stereotypical, but I worked for years in the hotel industry and I swear, 70% of them fit that profile. LOL

And..... the Napa City population is estimated to be closer to 120,000 which includes non documented peoples.

Thank you for the video Seth!

@oceanh2o Thank you for your comment! :-) I think a lot of young folk and adults alike forget about what things are available to our youth here. Wanderingrose is a great website!

Very well done. I was really impressed with Napa during my last visit. 7 years ago I moved from NYC to the Bay area. Every time I visit Napa I see change. Despite the fact that the largest population increase seems to be over 50 yrs old, the majority of resident in Napa are between 40-50yrs old. Therefore it's always a pleasure to see new restaurants like MORIMOTO attract a younger, hipper, adult audience to liven up the area.

@pattyazzarello Thank you! Yes, I too am pleased with how these new restaurants are changing the area. You may have heard of "The West End" of downtown Napa on First St. That area has seen a huge revitalization, as well as the area where Morimoto is. I hope the rest of downtown Napa follows suit. There is a lot of potential for our town!

Come one, come all, to the SWINE valley, Napa, Californicate...

Land of the brain-dead yuppie and the Napalo...

There are no fat-assed and ugly women in Napa...we have what are known as

NAPALOS. AHHHH, Napa...a grr-r-r-reat place to live.

Isn't that what that fatuous dimwit, Jeff Schechtman still flatulates over the air

on KVON?

“What a bashackward village...

It oughdda be blown off the mappa.”

One things for sure after watching this video. After living here 30 years ago, the Napa I remember has been swallowed up by a snobatorium of mediocrity. I can never go home again because there is no home to go home to. Thank you City of Napa board of directors of catering to tourists and dropping the locals like an empty can of beer out of the car window.

the entrance to westwood hills made me smile. thanks for the video!

[nal2us2]

I appreciate the very truthful commentary. Its most of the negative things that you bring up which is why I left that snobatorium in the first place. And I have no plans to return just to see a bunch of tourists and a board of directors who still, to this day, dont have a clue about how to run a town. Even when I lived there 30 years ago it was STILL about the tourists and screw the locals. Again, very well done and truthful presentation.
