[La Flames Fan]

I haven't read the whole thread yet but...

I was born and raised here. Moved to L.A. when I was 18, came back when I was 28. I'm 35 now and I can tell you I have fallen so in love with what this city is becoming.

- It's not the western themed town I left save for 10 days.
- It's still a damn friendly city.
- We have some amazing restaurants that have popped up.
- We have other amazing stores and services.
- We have the East Village emerging (amazing).
- Seriously East Village is going to be stellar.
- We're developing a great local music scene.
- We're getting artsy!
- Everyday I see more beautification of things that were down right horrid.
- I love the bike lanes.
- I walk everywhere (Latte Sipper)
- I love the peace bridge (Flame away)
- I love the vibe that we've got here (even if things are sour in the patch).

I love my city. Keep on growing.
