I've managed to put down some roots and keep them there for 8 years now (a huge record for me). I tend to make up for this by finding new jobs. I guess I have to do something... I have also found it much more difficult to make friends away from the military atmosphere. Military bases are full of people that have been taken away from their homes and friends from kindergarden where now it seems that those must be contended with. <BR/>I'm sad to hear that Chicago has that general attitude though it should not surprise me based on the people I've met from there. <BR/>I feel compelled to point out that Denver didn't make your list and would be worth some consideration should you ever start thinking more seriously about a move. Not only does your friend Jon already live here, but I've enjoyed this location far over and above all others I've lived in. Berlin, Germany makes a very close second simply due to the incredible life experienced I can attribute to the time I lived there. Right, back to Denver. I have found it to be laid back, friendly, and with an excellent selection of yarn stores. <BR/>Oh, and there is still plenty of farm land not too far away. You might be able to persuade Dolores to move along. Aspen might be a bit more tempting for her taste though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1165069604563757662006-12-02T09:26:00.000-05:002006-12-02T09:26:00.000-05:00Do it!

I was living in Ottawa (capital of Canada with short-ish but brutal winters, long disgusting summers, smog, smog, smog and too many f**king people) until just recently. My husband and I took a vacation last summer in the Maritimes (north-east of Maine) and decided to take the plunge and move! I<BR/><BR/> have never been happier. I can feel my humanity returning, you know? I drive slower, I smile at the people I meet on the street, I look around when I go from one place to the next. I've driven around the Island (we now live in Prince Edward Island) and visited little yarn shops and yarn mills. I've met my neighbours and spent countless hours working in my very own forest. I love cities - honestly, I do - but I think you can become lost and drowned-out there. I'm starting to hear my own inner voice again and I have to say, I wouldn't trade that in for anything.<BR/><BR/>So, I say - do it! I don't think you'll regret it. Besides, you can always move back if you do regret it.dwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282585633140494515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1165014349025130792006-12-01T18:05:00.000-05:002006-12-01T18:05:00.000-05:00You could come live up in the StPaul/Minneapolis a...You could come live up in the StPaul/Minneapolis area, it has all the requirements except for great weather, but we dont have the wind you have in Chicago and that is a definate bonus.

(Since college I have lived in Waltham, MA, New York City, Tuscaloosa, AL, Seattle, WA, and New Haven, CT.) I, too, get the itch to move but we are now rooted with grown-up jobs and all the trappings. Where would I live if I could live anywhere? Vancouver, BC. New Orleans also used to be on the short list, but no longer. I also get the itch to move back to NY every now and again, but I have gotten used to having a large home with lots of space. NY would require serious adjustment. I long for the pre-Disneyficated/Giulianied NY anyway. I really miss the east coast where the ocean and another major city is always within a short drive.

I'd say take Portland if you want a mellower vibe, sane traffic and free downtown public transportation. That's the balance-tipper, IMHO. Seattle traffic can ruin any good mood you woke up with. Option: don't drive a car in Seattle. Take the bus (Metro does a good job) or use Flexcar, the car-sharing program (which also operates in Portland).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1164524580648154152006-11-26T02:03:00.000-05:002006-11-26T02:03:00.000-05:00http://www.sfzc.org/http://www.sfzc.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1164161490757543032006-11-21T21:11:00.000-05:002006-11-21T21:11:00.000-05:00Have you thought of checking out Vancouver?

But of course you would have to try it on for size first. I recommend a few weeks vacationing here. Hook up with some of us knitters if you get the chance, we have a lovely and fun group. Austin is a beautiful liberal oasis in the middle of a conservative state. Most people in Austin are not natives and Austin is one of the most tolerant and laid back cities I've ever been too.

Good art scene, amazingly beautiful, I can't tell you the times I have crested a hill and seen the blue water backed up by snow capped mountains, and literally, had to stop to breath. Plenty of hiking, photography, skiing, kayaking, etc within easy striking distance. And in spite of all the tech money around, people do not seem at all preoccupied with either getting money or showing off the money they have. A very egalitarian city. Great restaurants, too.
