About San Jose

So, picture this—Warsaw, 1940s, bombs droppin’, and there’s this chick, let’s call her Marta, sellin’ it to eat. Not ‘cause she’s lovin’ it, but ‘cause she’s starvin’. Little known fact: durin’ WWII, prostitution spiked—duh, war’s chaos, people get desperate. Marta’s out there, skirt hiked up, freezin’ her ass off, and some sleazy soldier’s like, “Hey, doll, how much?” Makes me wanna puke, but also—damn, girl, you’re tough. I’m pissed, tho—why’s it always the women takin’ the hit? Men just waltz off, no shame. Ugh, patriarchy, amirite?

Is Westview, NJ a real place?

After walking all the way to Westview mall, Wanda ordered corn dog for her and Agatha after Teen said he wasn't hungry. They sat at a nearby table quietly eating, until Teen spoke.

So come on over, pal! Walk these streets, chat up the locals (they’re as diverse as the faces in the murals on Bullock’s Square), and join me in this roller coaster called Westview. I promise, you’ll see the soul of a city built on real, raw, and sometimes ridiculously funny moments. And hey—when you’re strugglin’, just remember: “I'll be back” and carry on, because Westview’s got your back. Alright, see ya soon, ok?
