Kind of ironic. So many Texans moved to California during the 70s-90s, but during the 2000s the trend reversed, with myriads of Californians moving to Texas. The Texas Standard report on NPR broadcast a story on this phenomenon a few days ago. They called it "The California Exodus."delayed response, but i lived very close to where Nicole Brown was murdered. i've met her a few times (yes out partying!!) I've been to Mezzaluna and I still frequent the Baja Cantina, where poor Ron Goldman was ultimately headed that night. This was a horrible horrible crime. OJ was so OBVIOUSLY guilty. Most of us could not believe the verdict at the time. I do vividly remember watching the NY Knicks playoff game that was suspended while the Bronco chase on the 405 was going on.
I do recommend watching the Academy Awarding Winning documentary about OJ Simpson - OJ: Made in America (it aired on ESPS) - its 8 hours and broken up into 5 segments. It is a fascinating expose of Simpson and what it was like living in Los Angeles at the time and what led up to his ultimate acquittal in his criminal trial. I highly recommend watching if you haven't seen it.
Its sad that he is being released from prison yet ironic he even ended up spending any time there. His ego and narcissism transcendence his crimes....
They interviewed one twenty-something Cali newcomer on why he made the move. He replied, "When I lived in California, all my friends who had moved to Texas were getting jobs, marrying, buying homes, and having children. But all my California friends were living with their parents."
