Conversation Between SteveRN21 and CAguyinMO

Hey, Steve. I just read the entire, book-length thread about your forthcoming travel assignment to California. To say I'm jealous is an understatement. I was born and raised in LA and love Southern California intensely. I don't know if you've settled on an area yet, but if you still want some input from a native son, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd need to know a bit more about you and what you want or are looking for in a place to live, but I'm happy to toss some ideas out. California, as you have probably found out, is an extremely varied and diverse state. Living in San Diego, for instance, is 180-degrees different than living in, say, Redding. Where you'd be happiest depends to a good extent on what you're looking for. Let me know if you want another opinion or two, and I'd be happy to share mine. Cheers.....Donn
