The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: How long have you lived in Contra Costa County?
Talk about it….
Moved to CoCo County in ‘89, I was originally from the South Bay Area
Mrs. Pablito and I, since 1994.
.
42 years.
.
Since I was 7 years old in 1979. I’ve been raised and lived here most of my life.
48 years and I’m so happy that I moved here.
25 Tax Paying Years!
19 years
Over 60 years.
60 years and in the same city
More and more I’m thinking too. Long. Maybe I should move to Cambodia….🤔
48 years
.. 40 + yrs…. enough to see it change a lot and not for the better…. no regional planning between the cities have resulted in a fragmented mess, little emphasis on maintaining infrastructure, and have seen MDUSD become even more of a puppet to their union and governor….
Since 1978
Except for a year and a half on Guam, I’ve lived here since 1968 (and I still call myself an expatriate Pennsylvanian)
Too Long!!!!
Since birth
Well…. I’ve been here longer than any of the above… I was born in Walnut Creek in… wait a minute, is this a trick to get everyone to reveal their age as part of some info gathering effort to profile us?
You’re setting me up for a life insurance salesman, right?
Just be happy he or she is not from Contra Costa Memorial Park.
Since 1982, or was it 1981? I’m not sure, but I think it was 1982.
Just waiting for someone to come up with a controversial answer to what is arguably the least controversial question in The Water Cooler history!! C’mon… anyone?? Haha
57 years in Concord. Definitely missing the good ol’ days.
56 years Clayton/concord
8 years
Born at walnut creek kaiser 57 years ago lived here ever since
Good thing you were born in 57 now they would hold your mother off for a few weeks while they found a bed.
Since 1978 Within Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Pittsburg
24 years, 7 months.
Summer 1979.
Going to Walnut Creek to visit my uncle who owned walnut orchards. We would drive up the two-lane road Pleasanton-Sunol Rd. which parallels Hwy 680. I believe we used to call it the Franklin Canyon Rd. Along the road were large black walnut trees. What an adventure! The first time that I remember it was 1954. What a beautiful area.
Since January, 1949. Almost 75 years!!
That beats me… 65 years.
50 years
Arrived in summer 78 from Houston … left in fall 87 when I became a jarhead … never coming back …
29 years, by way of NY. Can’t believe it! Moraga the first 3 years, and then Claycord..
Moved to Walnut Creek in 68′ from SoCal. So beautiful, so mellow, safe. Husband was born in WC Kaiser. Still enjoy calling the Emporium Capwells.
