Introduction
I'm a native New Yorker and came to SD 10 years ago for the sunshine. I really love living someplace where the weather is rarely an issue, I do better with city life, so SD is pretty close to perfect.
What do you think is the most important thing to newcomers to CA to know about SD, etc?

The freeways can be daunting at first, but it does get easier with a little time and practice!

What is one of the biggest differences you experienced as an East Coaster on the West Coast?

The obvious one is the weather, which is why I came to San Diego.

How long have you been in CA?

10 years

Where is your home town?

New York City, originally Brooklyn, then as an adult the Upper West Side of Manhattan, ending with a few years in Kew Gardens, Queens. I also lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for 5 years. So, where's home? Who knows?!

  •  Hi Donna sounds like a fun place. If you are interested in hosting something for the group I can give you assistant access.

    Thanks for the idea!

  •  Hey Donna, We are launching a website for single dads w/ kids this Father Day...would love to have articles authored by a single parent like you to give tips to dads that are going through a transition (women do seem to have it wired)...any interest? The site isn't available to view on line yet, but could give you a link to check it out.

    Thanks, gina@singledad. com
