Born and raised in NY, I've been living in Southern California since 1998, my family and friends are in NY but my heart is here in California. The weather cannot be beat; I detest cold weather. Growing up I always always depressed during the cold seasons and lived for summers. If NY had the weather of Cali, I'd move back in a minute because as much as I love the weather, the people in California are VERY DIFFERENT. I will always appreciate that I was raised on the East Coast.
you and me both!
