California Region Child Analogy

After traveling a large part of this state, I can't help but think that the north, central, and southern regions of California can identify with the characteristics of the first born, middle, and youngest child. Northern California has a more mature, overachieving character of a first born, while Southern California is like the youngest child - spoiled, always trying to get peoples attention, not necessarily for the right reasons. In the middle, we have the Central part of California that is simply solid - nothing flashy, almost ordinary - it simply does its job. It is funny how each area is so distinct from the others. I think of traveling from Ottawa, through Toronto, down to Windsor and not being able to see such distinct differences in personalities.

UPDATE: Ok, my little sister doesn't like the youngest analogy. I would like to clarify, that today she is a mature, wonderful person. The analogy would only apply to her pre-university years :)
