The exact moment you fell in love with LA
The amazing weather, the best food scene in the world, the ethnic diversity - those are the reasons why a lot of people love Los Angeles.
SANTA MONICA, CA - MAY 28:  The new $1.5 million solar powered Ferris wheel, which replaces the Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel auctioned off on eBay for $132,400 in April, stands over Pacific Park amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier on its opening night on May 28, 2008 in Santa Monica, California. The old 90-foot tall Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel appeared in 105 photo shoots, 71 television commercials, 69 television shows, 28 films and 13 music videos and carried more than 3 million riders130 feet above the ocean on its 20 gondolas over the past 12 years. Like its predecessor, the world's first solar-powered, it will be powered by the sun but the new wheel, with its160,000 lights, will be 75 percent more energy efficient.

AirTalk wants to drill a little deeper to hear whether there was an exact moment you fell in love with the city. Was it when you first saw Downtown engulfed in Magic Hour light? Did your first trip to the Griffith Observatory seal the deal? Or was it love at first sight?
