LA here I come!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I will be moving to LA end of December. So if you see me on the street let me know! From what I gather, there are a lot of members from SoCal, so no excuse to get a meet together beginning of the year right?

Niiice. So now there are a few of us in the LA area. LA is a nice city overall, the bad parts are only like a few blocks really, and with this "urban renewal" the whole city will be brand new in a few years (they've already done a nice job with downtown)

Man I hate LA. I grew up there. Bad air quality, expensive cost of living, #1 in traffic congestion will give you plenty of headaches. Prepare to replace your brakes every 10K miles or so. It is a great city if you're here short term but eventually it'll get to you. Finally I was able to get out to suburbs and enjoying every minute of it. I am still close enough to LA(Family members live there) that I can visit whenever I want in less than an hr. Anyhow welcome!

Pardon me if I'm missing something here... "GMR"? Greater Metro Region? I'm gonna be splitting my living situation between West Hollywood and Costa Mesa/Newport Beach until I figure my job situation out. Currently I have a few options lined up but nothing set in stone.

“The Crest” run above Glendale/ La Cańada is better, IMO:
