When Heather Broeker made the big move from North Carolina to Los Angeles a few years ago, she was naturally apprehensive. But after tasting everything Los Angeles had to offer, she knew she had made the right move. She wanted to document her experiences and also create a guide for other newbies in LaLa Land, so she created what would come to be known as Survive the City. It all began with funny, anecdotal email updates for friends and family, and that led to the formation of the website—a cohesive location for people to access everything Heather had to say and more. This online guide turned into a veritable source for Angelenos to find out what’s going on in this sprawling city. The site underwent a small hiatus when Heather packed up her apartment and moved to New York to pursue a fabulous job opportunity.

Now it’s 2007, and the site will celebrate big relaunch today, May 29th, with her 10 day cross-country road trip back to sunny southern Cali. The new and improved site will hit on everything you want to know about living in LA, from relationships and traveling to finding a roommate or landing a job.
