Say hello to Little Miss Farrah. Farrah is a petite tuxedo cat: Farrah is an absolute doll. She is affectionate and allows you to peck her and touch her and check her anywhere on her body. She is very trusting and limp in your arms. When we initially rescued her, her tail looked to be broken, but healed incorrectly. Veterinarian did not recommend to do a surgery, She does have a crooked tail, but we think it just gives her more character. She does fabulous with well mannered, animals, and children. Is about one year old and weighs about 10lbs.

So Gotham isn't real, but if it was, Stockton, CA is a really close version of a real-life Gotham.

First of all, crime rates! Stockton is the most dangerous city in California based on FBI violent crime data. It's not always number 1, it moves up and down, but it's usually in the top 5.

Next up, crazy villains! Stockton has had many serial killers, including the Night Stalker, who was absolutely horrible.

Stockton, like Gotham, is a port city. To be fair, Stockton is an inland port, on the Sacramento River, not on the ocean, but it still is a port. Port cities usually have higher crime rates, due to the smuggling and such that happens around them.

Stockton is plagued with incredibly thick fog. It's infamous for it! It's gotten better now due to the decrease in air pollution in the area, but when my mom was a kid, she wouldn't be able to see her hands outstretched in front of her. Speaking of air pollution, Gotham is rather famous for its terrible air quality, and Stockton is also quite bad! Due to the horrible geography, the CA valley has some of the worst air quality in California, and in the US. Some parts of Stockton are labeled high risk, and are parts of Assembly Bill 617, to try and fix that.

Stockton is a major industrial area. Its architecture is actually quite Gothic, especially the older areas. Lots of brick, high towers and elaborate trims and such. Driving on Hwy 4 over the city will always give you a great view of the gothic spire of it's downtown church, as well as the cranes and stacks from the port. Driving that hwy every weekend is how I came up with this post.

Stockton actually has a lot of very wealthy and very old families. Lots of big names and generational wealth.

So, in conclusion, if Gotham was a real place, it would look like Stockton CA.
