Our running joke is that every time we strike up a conversation with anyone in PC they're from Michigan!
Of course once when we were staying at the Banana Bay, some people that stay there every winter all winter are from twenty miles away from us here in Wisconsin!
Hey! The last one to leave Michigan, turn out the lights!

That's because all the cranky ones can't afford to go south where it's warm ~ that's why they're so "Cranky" ~lol~

Only volunteer here, Capt., but we're STILL living up here in NY, unfortunately! Sounds like YOU'RE settled and happy, though! It's a good life!

Thanks for volunteering, almost all of L.I., NY still volunteers, amazing.
I did 20 years, most in the Bronx, it was an experience not soon forgotten.

Still waiting to close down here in the Keys, hope buyers to get letter of committment tomorrow.
Then we'll close quickly here and quickly up in PC

Where you from in NY? I grew up in Queens, raised my family in Baldwin Harbor
Yeah, for sure, life has been good to me.

Capt.....my wife was born in Baldwin, but.....I'm originally from Yonkers. We've lived up here (Dutchess and Putnam Counties) most of our lives, though. Good luck on that letter of commitment.....we're still trying to sell up here, but.......buyers are very picky with the "smorgasbord" of homes to choose from. It's MADNESS up here!

Jim

small world isn't it.....brother still living in Baldwin Harbor..I have not been back there in ten years.
no desire to be cold, too many years now in the sun, moved to the Keys in '94, a different place
back then. A tough housing market but a lot more realistic then during the boom years. It was simply
stupid. Good luck on selling and moving to a warmer climate.
