I often think about what it would be like to move back to NYC, but I live a bubble right now and it has treated me well so far. City life has some advantages.

We lived out of town but the town itself had only 1500 people. It used to irritate me when people from TR would say they were from Greenville! :) I grew up in Traveler’s Rest (SC).

And it was indeed a <i>real</i> pleasure to meet you "IRL". We <i>are</i> happy in Denver - but I was reminded of the thrills of a bigger city when I was in Chicago. It would be nice to have it all. Thanks, Becky!

I'd love to think that you'll find the right place, with cosmopolitan excitement, and excellent schools. And I have to learn how to be clear about my towns. I live in tiny Hopeton, the town of 25 or so. My businesses are in nearby Alva, the big city of 5,000. It's complicated, so I never know whether to say I'm from Alva, or Hopeton! It was such a pleasure to meet in person, and become friends after being connected so long online. Paul, you are absolutely right on the point, live where you want.
