Joan – I had a roommate and we were just looking for a place to live when we decided on Burbank. I’m guessing that I’ve lived here for a good 20 years…probably more than that.

Sandy – My husband accepted a job with Disney, so I’ve been here since 1980.

Libby – Winters were bad where we lived before, and Burbank’s weather was better for my husbands health. He had some WWII injuries. We moved here in 1954.

Sam – My family moved out to CA and I came with them when I was 15. As of last October, I’ve been in Burbank for one year.

Fatima – When I moved from New York,  I chose California because we didn’t like the cold. We moved to Santa Monica. Then I saw Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena and loved sunny Burbank. Santa Monica was too cold, and I just loved sunny Burbank with its proximity to other cities and the sunshine and the diversity. We moved to Burbank and I love it here.

Joy – Oh, the weather! It was cold in Canada. (laugh) I’ve been in this great weather for 36 years now.

Douglas – I had an older brother who lived here and he talked me into it…and Lockheed was hiring so I decided to move to Burbank in 1955.

Irene – My husband and I moved out here (CA) from Chicago because we liked the weather. Snow was fine when I was a kid, I liked it then…when we were ready to move out of the snow, my husband wanted to go to San Francisco, but then he changed his mind because there were better jobs in Southern California. In 1967 we moved to Glendale, then in the 70’s we moved to Los Feliz. I started volunteering at the Joslyn Center, and recently (2004) I moved to Burbank.

Barbara – My father wanted to come to California way back when…I always knew that we would end up out here. I’ve lived in Burbank for 33 years.

Gladys – I moved to Hollywood in 1959 because my husband and I had a contact there. In 1980 I moved to Burbank because its close to downtown…its close to everything, and I enjoy the arts here. I love it here. I travel all over the world and I kiss Burbank when I return.

Jacqueline – My two Jewish friends insisted that I come out here (Burbank) and I’ve been here for 10 years.
