💭 Community Corner | Lil City Connections
What’s the First Word That Comes to Mind When You Hear El Dorado Hills? 🤔
A recent post from the El Dorado Hills Chamber sparked quite a buzz with a simple but powerful question: What’s the first word that comes to mind when you hear “El Dorado Hills”? The responses poured in—some heartfelt, some humorous, and some calling out challenges that come with rapid growth.
While many proudly wrote “Home”, “Beautiful”, “Peace”, and “Community”, others weren’t shy about expressing concern with words like “Overbuilding”, “Entitlement”, “Expensive”, “Overcrowded”, and “Corrupt CSD”. Comments ran from lighthearted to heartfelt reflections on how growth has altered the landscape and local culture.
So now, we’re turning the question to you. Hit reply and tell us your word. Whether it’s love, frustration, pride, or something totally different—we want to hear it. Your voice helps shape the story we’re all living here in EDH.
