Well, I'm in the Bay Area and grew up in LA, so the drift is very prounounced. People at my old workplace who came from farther afield (e.g. Canada or the East Coast) tended to take a lot more initiative in socializing at work.

This is a big if. I'm speaking of people who have moved across the country or state, and where the likelihood of this is near zero. The only way they'll rekindle the friendship (specifically being physically local) is if they move back themselves, rather than waiting for their friends to move to them.
