Thanks Parklane..I thought it might be Calexico but couldn't find a decent map to verify and web search didnt bring them up together.

It is Mexicali and Calexico- they are about an hours drive from the Tijuana/San Diego border.
Background story : Mexicali was originally mainly an agriculturual city formed by a group that operated on the US side of the border in Calexico. The company brough 10,000 all single asian men over to work their fields. Eventually the men found Mexican wives an settled into the area for good. Over the past few generations their presence has resulted in the asian features in much of the Baja population and to this day there are still a rather boggling number of chinese restaurant in Mexicali. Oh, and it is hot as h*ll there!!

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?
