Hey, MA to LA here too! (With a 7 year detour in GA/TN)

We spent 40+ years of our life--20s thru retirement--in MA before coming to LA, 11 years ago. This current ordeal, along with the poignant solidarity inspired by the fires this year, has also made us ever more devoted to LA.

it helps not to have a strong sports loyalty (although i love me some Bills, albeit lazily) but…same.

zeal of the converted and all that.

mox, any random day: yeah... it'd be nice to go back and visit but, we'd never move back to LA unless we had to. fuck that city

mox, hearing someone talk shit about LA: run. run now, or we can not be held responsible for whatever is about to happen.

Massive respect. I went to school in Philly, and while I no longer live there, I stand by every activist, social worker, and protestor (and every Eagles fan) fighting the Good Fight there.

I’m the opposite, Angeleno moved to MA for a while (back now) and the first day I really felt Bostonian after 5+ years there when the Sox broke the curse. Party in the streets, not quite the same circumstance!!

We moved to Boston from the midwest in our early 20s. My husband could not give up his devotion to the Cubs, UNTIL the 1975 season when he converted to the Red Sox, and as they say, there is no zeal equal to that of a convert!!
