I tried to fit in, but even though I love Sushi, it just didn't work.
There is a great little bar called the "knight" or something like that on 17th I think. On the east side of the street. I had a lot of fun playing pool and drinking to excess in there (won/lost some money too). It is considered a dive by Newport Beach standards, but it is a fun place. Once you get to know the regulars. There was a bartender named Tony (watch out.. big pool shark) who was from back east. He used to make all-u-could-eat spaghetti on Monday nights.
I got conned into buying a belt in Costa Mesa once and almost fell over when the girl rang it up.
I almost traded in my sorta cool car for a really cool car down in Corona Del Mar, but it wasn't meant to be. I just kept my car and bought a truck down at that big auto mall south of Irvine on the interstate.

BTW- thanks for the kind words. The stories are free, I make them up
