I spent over 15 years living in/around Davis and going to school here, so I have a bit of knowledge that the younger kids may have never known, but I might as well kick in my 2 cents here and there. and be one of those "In my day..." sort of people. Graduated in 2003 with a degree in Geology, after 11 years of on again off again attendance at the UCD. Yes, you can change from an Electrical Engineering major 5 years in, in fact, they are quite happy to help you leave so someone who really wants to be there can get in.

While I am a Native Californian, and I have spent over half my life here. Chicago will always be my hometown since I spent my formative (ages 7-17) years there. I tend to identify with people from the midwest by where I grew up.

And apparently, I have a completist fetish for Chicago Style Pizza info. Stems from being a Chicago boy and having to educate the unenlightened. Texas style BBQ may be next... but that would my wife's territory.

Whenever I drive through Davis, I tend to navigate by what was there. Since I have moved to Florida, I don't think I will be contributing all that much to the wiki any more (not that I was ever very prolific).

2005-11-21 16:37:14   You've been in Davis way longer than me, so hopefully you could elaborate on the UC Regents/Freeborn Hall incident of 1991. I've tried reading old newspaper articles via Lexius Nexus but I couldn't turn up much aside from one-paragraph stories saying that 200-500 (I can't recall) students had stormed into Freeborn Hall and not allowed the Regents to meet in it. I also remember reading that the Regents thought Davis was a "safe place" to meet due to little perceived political activity. —PhilipNeustrom
