Curmudgeon, i think you might be reading too much into this. I am only hoping to ensure a good first impression, not "shelter" my wife or pull some scam on her. She's no pushover. Additionally, we're looking at the area for her career, not mine. That means she is in the driver's seat on this one. I'm confident that she would appreciate my efforts as she also prefers to have positive experiences and does not wish to waste her time or spend it in places she doesn't enjoy. In fact, this sort of scouting and planning is a very normal part of our routine, whether it's for a vacation or a move. She counts on it.

As i mentioned, my wife already has some issues with mo. I have moved enough and traveled enough to know that every area has both good an bad. If we only have a couple of days in town, i want them to be positive, and i want to ensure that we gather relevant information for our decision process. That means i want us to see the kinds of places we would end up living and spending our time anyway, if we move there. No sense wasting time looking at places that don't meet our needs and ending up with a sense that what we want doesn't exist there.

Curmudgeon, i've seen a lot of your posts and gathered some good info on the area already. Thank you. I've also noted that you have pointed out a lot of the negatives. Thanks for that info too. But please don't be so suspicious. I'm not out to "get" anyone, and certainly not the love of my life. If you don't trust me, don't offer any tips, but please don't discourage others from helping me.

Cheers!

well said!!!!!
