b'JEFF NATHANWhat Year Did You Move to Baltimore? August 2020 Why Did You Move to Baltimore? I moved herefor work. I was an active-duty army officer four years prior. I recently got a job as a civilian here in thedefense department.Where Are You Originally From? Los Angeles, CA What Were Your First Impressions When You Got Here? It was an easy transition. I went to grad school nearby in Georgetown and spent a little time afterward working in the area, so I was familiar with the greater Baltimore area before moving here more permanently.Favorite Parts of Baltimore? I love the character the city has. You dont see that in a lot of cities. I particularly like the neighborhoods. Every neighborhood has itsown personality, and its really fun to explore that. I also really enjoy the food atmosphere. There are so many great places and food and breweries to explore. Andof course, I have to mention Camden Yardsits oneof my favorite baseball stadiums. How Did The Associated Help You Find Your Place Here? When we moved here, my wife and I were interested in meeting other young Jewish adults.We were hoping to make new friends. We cameupon The Associated online, and that is how we got connected with their IMPACT group, which focuseson young adults. From there, we attended a coupleof events through their Couples Committee. Weare now serving on that committee. associated.org 23'
