‘Elkgroveproblems’ Hashtag Lets Locals Vent About Their Town

We’ve all got problems. And judging from a hashtag some smartypants started on Twitter recently, we in Elk Grove have a few specific ones. Like trying to track down quality food after 10 p.m. Or, for those of us that are 15-and-a-half, not being able to get anywhere without a car.

The tag was trending locally this week as Elk Grovians, mostly the under-21 set, shared what about this place chaps their hides.

Here's a sample of the comments. (Warning: some of the ones on Twitter are more explicit than these.):
