About Copperopolis' Copper Town Square

Does anyone know where the Hell Copperopolis, CA is? Does anyone know where the Hell Porterville, CA is? Does anyone really care? I grew up in Porterville and moved to Copperopolis when I was 24. Porterville was a small town, bigger now of course and Copperopolis is a small town. Get the drift? There is currently new development going on in Copperopolis called the New Town Square. This is really being advertised by SADDLE CREEK GOLF COURSE.

I went to visit relatives in Porterville a few months ago and my family said.......we need to take you for a drive and show you something. I did not have a clue of what they were going to show me. Well, look at this!!!!!

This building says "COPPEROPOLIS established 2007." I was like, what's up with this. A little town like Copperopolis....why oh why would someone in Porterville put the name on their building "COPPEROPOLIS"? I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A STORY. I left messages for the owners. There are partners. I finally had one of them call me back and sure enough. One of the owners had worked with a crew a few years ago at one of the old gold mines in Copperopolis, reclammation process, I think. He wanted to put Copper letters on his building and use copper colors and had remembered the name of the town where he had worked was Copperopolis.

I just found this a little strange since there is new development in Copperopolis 2007/2008, a new building in Porterville established in 2007 called COPPEROPOLIS. I lived in one town growing up, moved to the other and now there is a little bit of Copperopolis in my home town when I was a kid.

I would love to get comments from anyone who knows either of these towns or if anything similiar has happened to you or someone you know.

Is there a hidden meaning behind all of this?
