Question... this person made ONE post 1 1/2 years ago... where did you unearth this historic post and do you think that she is still interested if she never followed up?

Like her I only read this forum every once in a while which could mean months in between. So if she is like me she may come back periodically to read and not login. If she does not login, she is not tracked.
I have specific knowledge of living in both places since I live in Hoboken, NJ directly across the Hudson river from Manhattan and have lived in the Tri-State area for most of the past 25 years. Also I lived in the GTA for almost a year. I know that area somewhat too. This gives me knowledges of both regions she was talking about.
What I really find hard to believe is the fact that you actually took time to write an attack on me? Go do something else with your time. If you had something posotive to write...Great go right ahead but what you did was ridiculous.
My husband has been working in NYC for the past few years. He commutes home to Toronto, Canada every weekend. We are thinking it's now time to make a permanent move. My question for all of you is where are the best towns for a family to move to within a 45 minute or less commute to the city?
I have two children 6 and 4 who will need a good school. I would also like the place to be safe and be self-contained. It would be great to find a place that has a thriving main street and is family driven, good restaurants and shops. I don't know anything about Connecticut or Jersey but have been out in Long Island a few times in the Freeport and Fire Island area. I am looking forward to your expert advice!!
Freeport and Fire island are very different extremes and opposite ends of the spectrum. Freeport is about as "ghetto" as it gets...wouldn't live there, don't drive through it...freeport is horrible. Fire island isn't really a place where people live all year round...plus there aren't roads...it's not really practical. It's more of a vacation place than anything else. I am saying if you are intersted in LI (and you should be), freeport and fire island are not really a good representation of what it's really like.
Westchester County has some nice places such as Pelham, Bronxville, New Rochelle. Pelham and Bronxville are very expensive. Bronxville has a train that will take you into the city. Schools are great in those areas! New Rochelle has many lovely sections also.
If you grew up on Long Island, you're probably okay with it, but for me at least, I can't wait to leave that place whenever I'm there. It's the whole feeling of being trapped on a crowded island. I've lived there too, but my work locations where off the island so that made for a lot more stress, having to spend hours on the roads and rather big bucks on tolls other people don't pay.
Just a personal prefernce for me but I've heard many others express relief at not having to deal with it.
I think Long Island is the New Jerseyites' New Jersey.
