I thought it would be interesting to get a feel for how many people here are California/Los Angeles natives and how many are transplants from other states/countries? Where are you originally from and what brought you here if you are a transplant to L.A.?

Born on the east coast. Moved to the Valley very young due to job transfer for my father. My closest family members soon followed after us and have remained here. The grandkids are the first generation of Californian born.

Born in Pasadena. I've never lived outside of L.A. County! The furthest out I lived was Lancaster, back in 1989 and part of 1990.

I was born in Iowa. I came out to Los Angeles 5 years ago because I landed an executive assistant job at a movie studio. The entertainment industry had always been my dream but after over a year of verbal abuse, horrible hours and virtually no pay, I'm now working as an assistant in a financial firm.

Ever see "Swimming with the Sharks" with Kevin Spacey? Not too far from the truth.
