I've been in Los Angeles for four and a half years now. The weather is good here. There's plenty to do. But....it's just not clicking. Is it just ME?!?!?

    Hmm ... sorry to hear that Scott. LA can definitely be a strange place sometimes. I definitely had my days when I wasn't feeling it. But I think that what made me love the place and really feel connected to it were the great social networks I formed there. And that can take a while!

    I guess my only suggestion to you would be to start exploring parts of LA (both geographically and culturally) that are outside of your normal comfort zone & routine. If you are a west side person, try checking out some downtown areas. If you typically drive to work, try checking out the subway or biking a bit. I don't know anything about you so my apologies if I'm making suggestions that seem obvious.

    LA really started to feel like home for me when I was able to start creating something there .. in my case, that was a warehouse space where my friends could come hang out and throw events.

    Best of luck to you!

      I do need to get out of my usual routine. That's for sure. I hear people talk about all of the old New Yorkers that are out here, but I never seem to meet any.... I wonder where you are all hiding?

        better question: where do you hide?

        tell us a bit about yourself and maybe some of us folk in l.a. could meet up with you (some ex-nyc, some l.a. folk just lovers of the apple.)

        unfortunately (for this conversation,) i'm headed out to spain for a bit--but i'm totally down to meet new folk and let them "in" on l.a.
