sincere | Moving on out?

1. Seattle!
2. I love the climate, because it rarely gets too hot and it never snows. Okay, yes, it does rain a lot, but probably not as much as you think.
3. Summers are generally sunny but cool - for the past few weeks it's not gotten much above 80F. Winters it rains and is mild.
4. We have the occasional ice storm in the winter. But it's not too bad.
5. Public transportation is decent and getting better (they've just passed a ballot measure to improve it.)
6. We have good coffee (it's not all starbucks), many wifi hotspots, the weather is mild, there are many awesome people, and we have ferries and a water taxi.
7. Hills. There are a lot of hills. And sometimes if you're going down a hill in a bus or something it looks like you're going straight down and you wonder WHY THE HELL DID THE CITY PLANNERS BUILD ON ALL THESE GODDAMN HILLS WTF?

That weather sounds too good to be true -- cool summers and mild winters? ♥ Does it get very humid?

I feel your pain on the hills. I live on a steep one now and it's kind of crazy. On the plus side, hmm, maybe public transportation will feel like a roller coaster! Whee!

Seattle seems like a decent prospect -- a quick Craigslist search turns up a lot of nicely-priced apartments.

Not generally humid, no. We also have Pike Place Market (which is good for cheap food shopping if you avoid all the tourist dreck). People drive like idiots here, but then, they do that in Boston or so I've heard. :-D

Boston drivers are ridiculous -- but then again, so are the roads they have to work with. Since there are about four active road names that just get reused (hence the intersection of Tremont St. and Tremont St.) and the roads were actually paved along the trails that cattle took when they went to graze at the commons... and let me tell you, cows are also not good drivers. (But probably better than Bostonians. And Floridians.)

I'd try to pimp out where I live- Wisconsin- but that'd just fail XD "Extremely hot summers! Extremely cold winters! Oh yeah, and tornadoes!"

But anyway, just so you know, when my family was in Seattle, it was awesome because it has the lowest allergy-levels of the continental USA. So- the air there? Is awesome.

You seem to like the idea of Seattle, so I thought I'd toss that in ^___^

I should also mention that we have Uwajimaya, which is the best giganto-Japanese-pan-Asian supermarket ever. (Well, at least 'outside Japan or possibly San Francisco'.) I have no idea what half the stuff IS, but ... I could drag you along with me!
(And also our public library is full of awesome.)

1. Albany

2. It swings to extremes, especially this year. I shit you not, during the previous Spring semester, there was a week in which I saw people sunbathing on Tuesday, and snow on the ground the following Friday. It's quite nice at the moment though.

3. Summers are sickeningly bright, but temperatures are manageable, as long as you're not a devoted pedestrian. Winters are brutal, but there's enough funding by the city to keep the roads plowed and salted at least.

4. Nothing more hazardous than an annual influx of freshmen students. Unless you're a horse, then you'll be kept inside for days at a time, then let out at night to sleep.

5. The bus system is cheap, covers a good area, and is clean enough for me not to have thought about it before.

6. It's not where my family lives.

7. It's a lot further from Manhattan that I was used to for 20 years (*pregnant pause as it really sinks in that I'm in my twenties*), and there's no good comic or anime shops.

8. Potentially, my future mate and I may very well be looking for a roommate next summer. But be warned, I have no qualms about sitting around in my underwear if the weather's hot enough to warrant budgeted use of the air conditioning.
But there will be no less than three kitties in residence with us at any time. (:

Re: 2. Haha, that's awesome. Now I'm picturing freshman sunbathers lounging outside in tiny swimwear and then looking up through their sunglasses confused as snow starts to fall.

Re: 6. That's the most important part of choosing a place to live.

~~Re: 8. Kitties!~~

Re: Re: 2. I'm sure there's a more maturely snarky comment somewhere in my psyche, but to that, my mind only snickers and thinks "Oh my, it's become a tad nipply out today."

Re: Re: 6. Of course. Unfortunately, that doesn't narrow it down much. Unless you're one of those people with extended family all over, that you equally can't stand. (I adore my extended family, it's just the closest genetic matches I find myself eager to get away from.)

Oh God, Upstate New York has the most bizarre weather ever.

And I have to agree with you on #6. I love my family, but at a distance.

Albany is Central New York, not Upstate New York.

Upstate New York is where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

Upstate New York consists of Central and Western New York, last time I checked. It's basically anything north of NYC and the Southern Tier. ^^;;

Speaking as someone from Long Island, those words are true.

LOL, I'm afraid to ask which ones...

Well, Florida is hot and out of the question and Strasburg is tiny and in the middle of nowhere, you already live in Boston, and I haven't lived in Williamsburg yet so I have no clue what that'll be like. So uh... I'll get back to you.

So not moving to Florida, I visited there once and it was like, not only was the whole state crazy, but also the weather was crazy, the bureaucracy was crazy, and the environment was crazy.

Case in point: Where the fuck is Strasburg? *googles*

♥

Rural northwestern Virginia. It's about an hour and a half to two hours from DC, depending on traffic.

Moving out is the best thing ever, let me tell you. Very cathardic and liberating. ^___^

1. Washington DC

2. & 3. Climate's reasonable. We had some really hot days this summer, but it was on par with the rest of the country, so the summers are hot but tolerable. ^^;; Winters are milder, more rain than snow. Definitely not four feet of white stuff overnight. And it's funny to watch everyone freak out when there are three inches on the ground. XD

4. When there are hurricanes coming up the east coast, we get some of the leftovers.

5. We do have public transportation! *__* The Metro trains are pretty reliable during the week, slower on the weekends and the buses are on time 75% of the time. Everything's pretty clean, and it's easy as pie once you get used to it.

6. You can't go anywhere without seeing an important building. My ride to work takes me past the Capitol Building and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. There is an atmosphere in DC that I've never found anywhere else I've lived. And because of the unwritten "no buildings higher than the Capitol" rule, the skyline is lower and you can see the sky. It has a feeling of having wide open space.

7. The tourists. -____-

~~8. >89~~

♥

This summer's been bruuutal. The million dollar question is: humidity?

I was in DC once to meet up with someone I was going to a con with, and the public transportation seemed nice, from the ridden-two-times-for-a-collective-ten-minutes perspective. It was a very lovely place. The sakura were in bloom~~~ *tear*

Hmmm, more humid than Boston, but not as humid as Florida. I might have a bit of a skewed perspective, because I've felt a Japanese summer and nothing is as bad as a Japanese summer in terms of humidity; 90%-100% humidity, twenty-four hours a day. In DC it's humid enough to make my hair not cooperate, but it usually drops enough so that sleeping isn't a big problem. But honestly, compared to the Rochester winters, I will take the DC summers.

1. Where do you live? Lake Stevens, Washington (about 45 minutes north of Seattle if traffic loves you)

2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what? I like extreme heat, so I find it too cold here most of the time (It's almost 70 right now, and I'm wearing a sweater). But everyone else I know loves it. It never gets too hot, there's snow for maybe a few days or a week out of the year, and the rain is pretty mild most of the time. My only gripe about the rain is that is slows traffic.

3. What are summmers like? Winters? Summers, sunny, not too hot, don't last long enough. Autumn is beautiful. There are so many trees, and I love when they all start changing. Winter is pretty cold, but it doesn't snow a whole lot. It gets really foggy, which I love.

4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it? Not really. We get some strong windstorms and maybe a week or two in winter where there might be ice on the road. One year in the six I've lived here had a really bad winter where I couldn't get to work because the freeway was iced over.

5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross? The public transportation here is pretty good. There are a ton of bus stops, and a new park and ride was just put up in town. You can go pretty much anywhere by bus if you have to. There's a train that can take you to Seattle. It's not very expensive. For buses, I thought they were pretty clean and decent. And you can usually arrange for carpools if you have a car.

6. What do you like about where you live? The scenery. It's pretty up here. It's getting a little crowded with more people migrating north, but it's still kind of out of the way and smallish. I love all the trees and hills. From here, it doesn't take much to find a place to go hiking or jump on a ferry and visit one of the islands.

7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame. Traffic. There is sooo much traffic. It's gets frustrating if you have to drive a lot. And also, it's a bit of a drive to get anywhere. To get to the main freeway, you have to either drive all the way up and through Marysville, or all the way down and over the trestle.

8. Do you want to share an apartment with me? And subject yourself of the chaos that is Jarod and Jada? However, we do have a spare room that is never in use, and slightly furnished, that we have rented out from time to time.

1. Philadelphia

2. I actually like it pretty well. It gets hotter in the summers than Miami (but most of the northeast does), though I never found the outdoors to be as intolerable as Miami heat. When I stay in non AC dorms, it's still pretty decent. It doesn't rain often, but when it does, it rains all day. I find that pretty weird.

3. The summers are toasty, but the winters? I love the winters! Especially outside Philadelphia, where I am, it stays pretty and white. It's also generally not brutally cold.

4. Not really, no.

5. SEPTA's... okay. I live outside Philly so it can be kind of annoying, and I'm biased against buses, but the trains are nice. Evidently, not as expensive as I usually bitch about.

6. The seasons are so pretty, and the buildings are pretty, and Philly is rather close to everything for road trip and traveling goodness.

7. Pennsylvania? Fucking sucks. Santorum. BRRR.

~~8. Yes. ♥~~

Both those banks are in my area, just fyi.

Since I kind of live in two places, I'm going to do the COOL place instead of the OMG WTF WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU if you choose to live there place!

1. Chicago, IL (or Evanston)

2/3. The climate is probably fairly comparable to Boston. The winter is cold (they really don't kid about the wind chill) and the summers are lovely. Spring and fall are usually fairly mild, though they tend toward the cool side, and it rains, but not an insane amount. Fairly normal midwest weather.

4. Not really much hazardous weather, though it can snow a fair amount during the winter.

5. We have awesome public transportation. El all the way. Buses go all over and it's all fairly cheap without making you want to disinfect the seats before you sit down.

6. I actually live outside of Chicago in one of the suburbs, but even that has very easy access to the city. There's never a night where I can't find something to do, I have access to all the nice bits of a major city with none of the isolation of living somewhere rural, and it's Chicago. Hi tech and amazing shopping and thrifting, very cool places to visit, people to meet, things to do. Chicago is awesome fun. Evanston itself is this darling town, not too small and not too busy. Basically, the perfect large college town.

7. Despite being awesome, Chicago is still in Illinois, but it, like Cleveland to Ohio, is the cool spot in the state. That said, traffic bites sometimes.

8.~~Well, as long as you're not stalking me... ♥~~

I agree with the awesomeness of Evanston and Chicago. ♥ Ahh, how I miss it.

Northwestern, or are you just lucky enough to live in a cool place? ♥

...Asdfgh. You live in Evanston too? ...do I know you? o__o

I... kind of doubt it, since I go to Northwestern and hence only live there part of the year? But it'd be cool if it turns out I'm totally wrong and do know you, too!

XD Probably not, then - I don't actually personally know anyone who goes to Northwestern. Still, what a neat coincedence. And having more KH yaoi fans locally is nice. =D

Uh, everything this person said goes for me too, Kay. Minus the stalkage. XD

To the things that suck, I add spiders (HUGE and EVERYWHERE), the tax rate, and how dirty it can be. The good tends to outweigh the bad, though.

1. Where do you live? Aguada, PR

2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what? It gets disgustingly humid from mid-spring to mid-fall, but the temperatures don't go as insane as they do in the heat waves you get in the States. It's nice in the winter. Average year-round temperature is 82 degrees Farenheit. I like it, but I could do without the Gross Summer Heat and the whole hurricane dealie come August-October. We get a lot of rain in summer afternoons, and we have a dry season during Lent. (What can I say -- the Spanish settlers were Catholic.)

3. What are summmers like? Winters? Summer tends to be gross. Winter is placid. The year-round beach weather is sexy.

4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it? Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 31st, but it's only Terribly Risky here from August through October. The harder hits we've gotten have knocked out the power on the entire island for at least 24 hours. Depending on where you live (ie, a city-type place or up on Mt. Bumfuck), your luck in that regard is sealed. Here, it alternates, 'cause we're in a cluster of houses that gets fucked over a lot.

Also, an unpublicized fact is that we're at high risk for earthquakes. Recently, a section of Mayaguez was declared a tsunami danger zone. I saw a sign posted the other day -- and I laughed, because I thought, "Wow, we're still alive how?"

5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross? I hear public transportation in the metro area (meaning San Juan and its neighboring cities) is nice (they have BUSES!), but it pretty much sucks elsewhere. It's probably a lot more expensive than it was when last I used it, which was... oh, maybe six years ago.

6. What do you like about where you live? Answering the question, "Where do you live?" It's a vacation spot. We're almost a state, but we're quite a ways away from that. You don't need a passport to travel here (at least, for now -- God only knows if that'll change), and a good chunk of the population speaks at least some English. Also, no sales tax in the vast majority of towns, and even where there is, it's only 1%.

7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame. My town is a shithole with lots of noise, potholes in every gorram street, and a lot of general assholes. (Gimme points -- I used 'hole' in every descriptor. I win.)

8. Do you want to share an apartment with me? Not really, seeing how I don't want to live and work here in the first place. ;D

Yes, you can fel free to completely disregard this. XD;

*waves* I friended you~ Hullo~~

1. Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN

2. The climate can best be described as Mother Nature's Menopause. We get really cold in the winter, really hot in the summer. Winters are dry and snowy, summers can be pretty hot and humid, but it tends to even out with really nice springs and absolutely gorgeous falls.

3. Er...described above XD

4. Nothing! There's the occasional low windchills and severe thunderstorms...but tornadoes? No way.

5. The metro transit buses are pretty nice, and the lightrail is set to expand before too long. Of course there's quite a few weirdos on the buses, but when is there not?

6. You get all the seasons in. It's a pretty sizeable metropolis but there's still nature around. I only live 15 mins from downtown and there's deer in my yard, I kid you not. Also, we have a super huge mall XD

7. No one knows we exist? XD It is a bit lame in that it's not that big, but we have an Anime con, a Sci-fi con, and direct flights to Japan...though you do have to put up with the idiots who don't know how to drive (if you drive) and the fact that everyone makes fun of us and thinks we're like the movie Fargo.

~~8. Ohoho, but we just met ♥~~

Also...as far as banks go, we're mostly Wells Fargo, TCF, and US Bank around here, so I don't know about Sovereign or Citizen's.

1. Where do you live?
Los Angeles (or rather, a small city 13 miles away from it but whatever), CA!

2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what?
Climate is pretty damn hot during the summer (90's+), but spring, fall, and winter are pretty nice (upper 60's-80's). Although this kind of depends on where you live, if you live near the beach during summer, it's not that bad. Beware of inland/valley weather, it's get's really miserable sometimes.

3. What are summmers like? Winters?
Summers are dry and hot. Sometimes a bit humid, but mostly kind of dry I guess, the kind of with hot breezes (I have no where else to compare this to T_T). This also depends on where you live, if you live more inland towards the valley, DAMN IT GETS HOT. But if you live closer to the coast, it's actually tolerable! The wind is actually cool, for instance. Winters are cloudy/rainy/sometimes sunny. CA doesn't really have winters. Never really floods badly, unless you live more inland I guess. I live kind of inland, probably 40 minutes away from the beach and it's never flooded here.

4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it?
Nope, just hot weather during the summer, some rain during the winter.

5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross?
The metro was recently set up, it's cheaper then driving everywhere I guess. I've never used it though. There're also buses, but I've never ridden either one of them. The metro looks pretty clean and people actually use it, so I guess it's pretty reliable? It goes to most big cities I guess, I see it on the freeway.

6. What do you like about where you live?
Nice weather most of the time, near the beach. No huge natural disasters or craploads of insects. Fairly calm and quiet in the surburban areas. (unless you live real close to the urban areas...) Lots of shopping in the more urban areas, it's the entertainment capital of the wooorrllld.

7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame.
I live in a small city outside of LA, so it's pretty damn boring out here since it's a suburban area with a school and lots of wedding shops for some reason. I think if you lived a little closer to the city or the beach (yes the beach is awesome), things are much more exciting. Er, and sometimes we have blackouts in hot weather? It happened once but I was at comicon.

8. Do you want to share an apartment with me?
I live at home as a student. T_T;

I should also mention, traffic can suck pretty badly at times, especially if you aren't familiar with it. But er, if you use the metro railway thing you shouldn't have a problem?

1. The Seattle area.

2/3. I do like the climate. It's not too hot, not too cold, and rains a lot. It's not particularly humid. Summers are generably mild, with a couple hotter weeks in the middle. They're sunny but not overly hot the rest of the time. Winters are also pretty mild - we get snow maybe for a few days to a week if we're lucky.

4. We get the occasional windstorm or ice storm, but that's about it.

5. I've never had a problem with the public transportation, though my experience is mostly limited to buses. I find them to be inexpensive. They're - to steal a phrase from another commenter - clean enough that I've never thought about it. (To tie in to the next point, I meet all sorts of interesting people on buses.)

6. It's beautiful here - lots of scenic places. The natural attractions are cool, too. The weather is pleasant, there are lots of spiffy people about, and a good art scene. (Seattle itself is a fabulous city - there's bunches of nifty places to go.) It's very easy to find outdoorsy things to do.

7. Parking? Sucks. Well, at least in Seattle. I don't live in Seattle itself (and I don't drive), so it's less of a problem for me. The mosquitoes are freakin' annoying, though only a problem in the warmer months, and I expect less so in larger cities. (This is what comes of wet places with standing water. They're not nearly as bad as in Minnesota or Alaska, though.) Aaaand...it takes a bit to get anywhere.

~~8. Don't have the cash for it right now, more's the pity. And you'd have to put up with my art nesting~!~~

I'm not familiar with either of those banks, so I have no comment on them.

1. Delaware

2/3. It is extremely humid year-round; it tends to be ungodly hot in summer and ungodly cold in winter. With ice in winter like mad.

4. The ice can be fairly hazardous if you don't handle it well.

5. Our public transit is grossly incompetent. You don't get what you pay for.

6. The thought of LEAVING.

7. The sidewalks roll up at about 6, especially on Sundays--you can't even go to freakin' McDonald's after eight on Sunday. There is NOTHING to do at night. Plus you can't get around without a car; the nearest convenience store is over a mile from my house.

~~8. I did that sharing-an-apartment thing once. I vowed never to do it again!~~

We do have Citizens' Bank in this area, though I haven't seen any Sovereign banks. ...just avoid Bank of America; whatever their ads say, they're a load of shit.

That said--when I lived in SoCal:

1. Long Beach, California

2. It was very hot but with nearly no humidity I didn't even need an *A/C*. Three years and all I used for coolth was my windows and a standing fan.

3. Winter is the month of February. It's lucky the month is only 28 days; on leap years you see arks floating around in the streets. Generally, this is not a problem to most people as they wear shorts and sandals, which dry quickly after you cross a street.

4. There were earthquakes, but even the 6.0 I was in didn't do more than rattle us a bit. (Okay, okay, so I was far from the epicenter.) I slept through all the ones that didn't start with two cats on my face.

5. Public transit in Long Beach was fabulous. I got a monthly bus pass and with that and ten cents for transfers I could go all over. And if I wanted to go into LA proper--say, to Little Tokyo--a light-rail ticket was under two dollars and the mini-bus at the other end was 25 cents. <3 (;_; I miss Little Tokyo SO BAD!)

6. The list would be far, far, far too long.

7. Well. Where I was specifically was kind of literally Spanish ghetto, so the hooker in the alley next to my apartment was annoying, and the fact that I had no shower (only a bath tub) was really REALLY lame, but those are all fixables. I loved it out there.

1. Where do you live?

Huntsvegas, AL

2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what?

I like it most of the time :) Sometimes I wish we had more snow.

3. What are summmers like? Winters?

Summer starts in May-ish and lasts til like... mid-November (lol). It's hot, but only unbearable for a month or so when the humidity is bad. Winters are not bad at all, but if it snows the whole state shuts down.

4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it?

We have tornadoes sometimes, but nothing destructive since about 1989. And believe me, the folks around here will recount that story to you many times. Mostly the tornado sirens are cause for a tornado party at a local bar where Jason's parents call looking for him.

5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross?

Not really, no. Everyone here has a car.

6. What do you like about where you live?

The foliage (I realized this after I spent a weekend in Wisconsin going "where are the magnolias and dogwoods?"), the weather... The proximity to the gulf coast, especially.

7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame.

Huntsville is pretty boring - of everyone that's anywhere near my age, most are married with children. The liquor store closes at like 6pm, and everything else closes at like 9.

1. California~
2. God yes. It gets hot in the summer but it's usually not a humid kind of hot so it's bearable. Some cities have blackouts, however, and there's you know conservation crap to worry about but yeah.

3. It's pretty mild year round I guess. Summers can get pretty hot but like I said, usually tolerable. Winters are pretty awesome, no snow or anything, but once you've lived here a while you're all "OH GOD IT'S COLD" Trust me. I spent 17 years in connecticut. I still freeze in the winter without a coat. :|

4. Depending on where in CA you live there's mudslides, fires, or earthquakes, though the last one just is an all over kind of thing. I'm in silicon valley and it's been pretty fine up in hurr. The only other concern would be the occasional water conservation stuff and the rolling blackouts, none of which I've actually had to experience so yay. (I've been here like 5 years or something so yes.)

5. Yes. A lot of it. Everywhere. We have buses, the lightrail, CALtrain VTA, BART and...I think that's it. Buses are a buck 75, BART varies but is cheaper than train costs for the MetroNorth back east coast ways (8 bucks or something roundtrip from fremont to san fran) and CALtrain runs about the same as that. For the most part public transit is pretty clean. CALtrain is cleaner than BART but doesn't make as many stops along the way and BART is honestly pretty clean. The buses seem decent enough to me.

6. It's California~ It's pretty nice here, really. The people are usually chill and it's just a nice place to live. Hart.

7. The cost of living is fucking RIDICULOUS. House prices are also pretty crazy.

8. ~~Maybe but only if you aren't a jerkface and we can find like 4 other people to get a house because it's ZOMG expensive XD~~

Abstaining until I get a place to live! Then I will send for the others. *nods*

~~Abby~~

refracting, you suck! Cleveland rocks!

1. Cleveland, OH

2. I think it's pretty average. Winters can be snowy, but the streets are usually plowed pretty quickly. Summers can get humid, but not as bad as some places. It's your general four seasons.

3. Winters can be pretty gray and sometimes pretty snowy, but the city is prepared for it. Summers can be humid, as I said before, but usually it's bearable (fine if you have air conditioning).

4. No hazardous weather.

5. There are several options for public transportation. I don't use it too often, so I can't attest to all of it, but mainly there's the RTA and buses. The RTA is this rapid transit system that is like a train of sorts? It can take you all over downtown Cleveland and to the surrounding neighborhoods. If you want to get further out, though, it's best to have a car. The public transportation is pretty cheap, and not too gross.

6. I like my neighborhood. I like that Cleveland has a lot of culture (one of the best orchestras in the world and some great theatres downtown), and that there are a ton of restaurants/fun places nearby. It's definitely not one of those one-movie-theatre kinds of cities.

7. I think it would be best to have a car if you were here. So that's kind of lame. Plus the housing might be expensive? I don't know; I live in a pretty nice house, but I'm not sure what the rates would be on apartments.

8. Sorry, I'll be in Minnesota. But I think they're working on a new apartment complex within walking distance of the newly renovated public library in my neighborhood. <3

Good luck with your search.

Not only am I late to the party, but I'm not even doing the survey in an orderly manner, because I'm lazy and horrible like that. Sorry.

But Houston is the best and worst place in the world. It's either too hot or too fucking cold, and it's humid as hell far too often for anyone's sanity.

Too much traffic, though downtown has buses and a metro for pretty cheap, I think, as well as parking lots sporadically downtown near the office buildings, and you can walk some too. I love downtown, it's great.

Um. Houston, Texas has lots of taco stands if you want some good Mexican food. Authentic kind of Mexican food, :D

We have dry spells, and then we have things like Rita and Katrina that hit us, but the storms in the early part of summer are probably my favorite, as well as the fall, which is the only nice time of year temperature wise.

It's pretty damn diverse, not neccesarily one culture or another. No where near New York, but still, it has character when you find the right places ('specially 'round Sheperd and Montrose, etc).

Um, I can't pick one lame thing. But basically? IIIIII wouldn't advise moving here, not really. Though if you do, you might end up loving it. Maybe. I mean, my own perspective might be coloring it. I have a really wretched love for this palce, ♥

1. Auburn, NY

2. It's alright. Both. It's CNY, what else is there gonna be?

3. Summers are like the winters. You never know how it's going to be until you actually go outside and see for yourself. Watching the weather does nothing for you, half the time it's wrong.

4. There was a blizzard once, I guess. I didn't live here yet. Dependong on where you live, flooding can be an issue.

5. The Centro bus is only $.60 in-town. To Syracuse it's $3 each way on basically a Greyhound bus. It's air conditioned in the summer, and hopefully heated in the winter. I give it a B+.

6. Cheaper than the other town I was living in. Smaller town, poorer people: Things cost less, like gas, and the bus.

7. Everything. I don't know why I still live here.

Moving on out?
