My mom convinced me to move to LA
As great as Santa Barbara is, I’ve been thinking of relocating again in the summer. With the combination of the city, some of my closest friends, great third-wave coffee, school things, proximity to family, and possibly a boy, LA just keeps sounding better and better.

Wonderful stories from a regular at the coffee shop.
