I been there for about 3 weeks is very nice love the stores but i cant wait to go back to California i had enough of NY lol

Don't move here unless you have your shit together and are prepared to live with 3 or 4 other people in a cracker box. Plan on working night and day just to survive,and then by all means chase those dreams, during the 30 free seconds you may have. Other than that it's friggen peachy!
