Second generation Los Angeleno. Live in the Los Angeles suburbs all my life except one year in San Diego and one in Denver. Kids, mom, grandkids, sister, DH's family all within easy driving distance (which if you know Los Angeles is really a very subjective statement). Love the diversity of the area, one can be in city-rural-beach-mountain all in the same day, though I do dream of some place in the world with no traffic and less crime statistics.
