now i have 2 minivans.
one from 1999 and another from 1997.
sprayed some belt dressing to stop the screeching.
gave the homeless guy the MRs and he thanked me.
I have heard of people going to NC. Do they like it? It must be very backwoodsy. Like eating Paul Bunyan style flapjacks and grits before puttin on yur red and black flannel to chop farwood..
In my case, I already live in Boston and San Francisco.
The issue is that (a) I have always wanted to live in NYC (and actually bought the third condo in Parkchester, the Bronx, to test the waters), and (b) my Boston condo has appreciated a lot, and is tying up a lot of cash, so would be financially prudent to sell it; I don't like Boston that much anyway (Bostonians have a surgically implanted chip on their shoulder), so would like to swap it for some more neighborly environment on the East Coast.
I always wanted to live on both coasts, and always thought that my last East Coast base (when I fully retire) would be NYC. But... after I started staying on/off at my (previously rental) place in the Bronx, I am starting to find out that I actually do not enjoy NYC as much as I thought I would.
I'll continue thinking about it. Moving to NYC is still an option, I am still not totally convinced that NYC no longer has anything unique to offer. Or I may stay in Boston (I like my Boston condo, although I don't like the city overall). Previously mentioned Pittsburgh (a little far inland, but it has a hub airport). Or even a smaller city on the East Coast.
My requirement for the East Coast city is historic preservation. Five cities with the largest pre-1940 stock of buildings are 1. Buffalo, 2. St Louis, 3. Cleveland, 4. Pittsburgh, 5. Boston. I have been to all of these cities, the first three are out due to high crime rate, but #4 and #5 are a possibility (actually, $5 is the present reality, but I am not sure I want to keep it that way).
