@penryu these are pretty funny options.

@penryu when you're actually in this area you realise that Central California is actually a pretty important thing.

@penryu and a lot of people think Northern California starts around Santa Rosa.

@evan These are the most common _serious_ options OTHER native Californians have given me for this legendary divider.
(Foolish me thought Sacramento would be a natural divider, but alas, I was laughed out of the boutique shop.)
What would you consider more serious (if not canonical) locations?

@evan Interesting. Shortly after moving to the South Bay, a coworker declared that no one east of Tracy deserved a vote. Would you say that yours is a counterpoint to his assertion?

@penryu oh, I'm sure they are authentic. But from the other direction, they seem laughable. For a Southern Californian, it would be nuts for SoCal to start in San Jose. That's practically in San Francisco! And for a Northern Californian, by the time you get to Ventura, you're *almost* in Los Angeles. It's right there.

@evan I'm with you. But despite the "Northern" and "Southern" monikers, this rivalry seems to have very little to do with geography.

@penryu for me, I have a particular turn on 101, just past Gaviota Beach, which is where Southern California ends and central California starts. The Bay Area/Central California border is at Gilroy. The Bay Area/Northern California border is just north of Ukiah. And from there it just keeps going until Oregon.
