Carson is a great city for the most part. There are some weirdos of course, but not too many. The city and its residents have lots of spirit for the town. Surprisingly, the city is more historic than you'll think. There are plenty of activities that occur around the city and MANY activities to keep your youngins busy. There are also many great big and small businesses and stores nearby to shop at. Overall, very good city!
Carson can seem very boring at times. There are awesome things about this city like its shopping centers and its homey feel, but it is such a small and stale area. There aren't many places to go, nor are there things for kids to do and the crime life in Carson seems to be very high, so not many kids can feel safe and protected while out with friends. However, the commute around Carson isn't so terrible considering it is such a small place and it is also near places like Torrance and Redondo Beach which allows for more exciting and fun times. But besides its nearness to more exciting and safer places like those, Carson is just another place in California that can become forgotten.
I love Carson! I find Carson as a gateway to many opportunities through the many careers many can pursue. My parents originally moved here for me as well as my brother to have a better future then my parents had in the Philippines. Carson is great tool, and it's up to us to make the best of our living.
