"I spent my first 12 years bouncing around NY, NJ, and PA. Spent the next 17 years in Atlanta and NC. I've been in Seattle for 3 years, and while I love the city, I miss the east coast attitude! (Blunt, yet friendlier, and all-around more fun!)"

"Hey Amy- I can't believe that I already have plans on Sat. I really wanted to get together! :( "

"I've been in Seattle since August 2001. I grew up in NH and MA. I don't miss the Boston area or the long winters. However, I definitely miss the direct and no nonsense attitude!"

"Hi all, I am sure their are some other foodies out there so I thought it would be fun to start a discussion. What foods do you miss? What foods have you imported? What Seattle food do you like/ dislike? I..."

"Born in Boston, grew up in Maine and Mass. Family has a farm in Maine still. What I like about east coasters is our directness. Also we have some rocking food. I find Seattleites don't know how to have fun with out going out or spending money."

"Hi, Amy! Thanks for welcome shouts. I'm from Japan and have been here for 6 months. Since came here, I've looked for the place for meeting sweet guys. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone."

"Central Jersey will always be home! What exit? "

" If you're coming to the Picnic Saturday the 10th please don't forget to RSVP with what items you'll be bringing. We need to know what's left to buy, so everyone knows what to bring... thanks!!! PS-..."

"Hi! I grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved to Seattle about two years ago. So far I like Seattle but I need to get out and meet more people. It seems harder to connect with west coasters then east coasters :)"
