I grew up here. I have lived in Atlanta, and a few places around Pittsburgh. I decided that the grass wasn't greener on the other side. I made a decision to commute 60 miles each way, just so I could put my kids in a better school.

My job, and seniority allow me to live anywhere in the Country. I have been to many other stations. I chose this area. If they ever close Pit, I will commute every week, and keep my house here. I like it.

I answered "I moved here. I like the area and don't plan on ever leaving!" but it's not totally accurate. I never planned to stay here for the rest of my life.

Even before I knew where I was going after I graduated from college, I knew I wasn't going to stay there for the rest of my life. I still don't know where I want to settle down for the long-term. Maybe I'll never completely settle down in one place until after I retire. Then, I hope to retire to the Massillon/Canton area--the village of Navarre would be great. (I hope it's as nice in 35-40 years, when it's time to retire)

Just wondering if you are with an airline/which one? I was based in PIT, PHL, and BOS and commuted to all these places, and my hubby still does. Commuting really stinks!

I think the poll answers were set up so as to provide all negative feed back.
I for one chose to retire here from a southern state and enjoy the pleasant weather....well till Nov then I set sail for fl till march.
y'all dont know what a great place N.E.Ohio is .
I have talked to city councilman about turning the area into a retirement Mecca,plenty of golfing,boating and winter sports too.
the idea of bringing jobs to the area seems to have slipped the leaders minds so why not a ret.community?
