“I love Costa Mesa. It’s the little city in a big city; the slow pace in a fast pace. There’s a camaraderie about living here.
“Back where I came from – growing up – I never really fit in well. I was just kind of that weird Indy Rocker in the corner. But here, there’s a lot of intersecting niches and acceptance. It’s a fun quirky group and you can always find new and interesting people to be with.
“We’re all proud to be Costa Mesans, but that means different things to different people and there’s no pressure to conform. I like that.”
– Jerika Hayes, Costa Mesan ♥
