"California exists, yeah. There's not a lot there, though; somebody tried to kickstart a movie industry there, but Kansas had already cornered the market and they failed miserably." Welcome to the butterfly effect of having immortal lesbian space rocks accidentally influence most of world history, Steven. It's a wild ride.
(Thankfully for Steven, Connie is above such petty things as coast rivalries.)
(But East Coast is the best, so he can-)
Connie nods along, growing more serious. "Yeah. Things are... different outside of the East Coast. My family used to travel around a lot before we settled down near Crossroads, and... I don't know. It's like a whole other world compared to what I'm used to, in terms of attitudes and stuff.
"Stars, yeah. I don't- didn't- go on social media much, since, you know. College, school. But I saw some of the arguments there. They got nasty. I guess I have kind of a unique perspective on things—have I ever told you about Stevonnie—but... people can be really nasty. It made me kinda scared to look into college anywhere but the East Coast, honestly." She snorts. "Even if I could totally destroy anybody who treated me badly."
