Westside, I'll Be Back

Dear West LA,

It's been great.  Your weather is fantastically pleasant, and we've enjoyed each others' company as far back as I can remember.  Your eclectic neighborhoods with innumerable activities and hot-spots have made every week different from the last.  Over the course of the last six years we've developed a deep and lasting partnership that I promise will never fade.  And just because I won't see you every day now, doesn't mean you aren't still number one in my heart.

But the time has come.  Through no fault of your own traffic has become excessively cumbersome, and as long as I have a daily commute that takes me outside of your haven, our relationship won't be quite the same.  Glendale has called my name, and being walking distance from my office has great appeal, especially for a temporary stop.

We will see each other often, and I promise to return home soon.  My employer sees great potential in you just as I do, and I will take it upon myself to ensure that we are reunited with renewed excitement to our relationship.  But for now I must say goodbye and we must admire each other from a few miles away.  Thank you for all of the good times, and I look forward to many more ahead.  We'll see each other soon!
