I and a few other LA people post on the Money Matters board.
I come here from time to time to look at the desolation. lol.
I live and work on the Westside of Los Angeles. This board used to be active, especially if you had children. Another stumbling block is lot of folks are spread out geographically, so I couldn't give anyone dentist recommendations if they lived in North Hollywood or give date ideas in Redondo Beach.
I'd be interested in starting up something again, though. Basically this is a board has become a place for tourists to ask about things to do and places to stay... which is a shame.
