GTKY: Where is home for you?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: GTKY: Where is home for you?
I lived in Sarasota for awhile and loved it! High cost of living (for Florida) but you can't beat those beaches!
EDD #2 5.4.17
From South Jersey but now live just North of Philadelphia. So basically the same area.

Same for teacher pay in Florida. Add to that the horrendous way Florida handles education. Plenty of ethnic diversity at my school! Title I with 92% minority, tons of Spanish speakers. Really makes me wish I had taken more Spanish in college.

If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you:
Love it! :x

But my heart is still a Chicago girl. Born and raised in the western suburbs ... My first daughter was born in Elgin.
I miss the food so much!!
Pros: Warm winters if you like that sort of thing (I don't). It rarely freezes, only snows once every few years. Good diversity, lots of interesting museums and galleries, and the food is hard to beat. Close to the gulf so beach trips are easy.
Cons: It's like living in a sauna from May to September. Killer humidity, unrelenting heat. It takes a car and 20-60min to get anywhere useful even outside of rush hour. No real walking neighborhoods. No real winter (I love winter). Hurricanes/Tropical Storms every so often.
We would much rather move somewhere in the pacific northwest or the Rockies but all of our family is here and we want to raise our kid with the close family ties that we had growing up. So we suffer through the heat and vacation to places that get real snow in the winter.
Friends for 17 years. Married 10. TTC since Jan 2009.

Columbus, OH - born and raised. I like being able to enjoy all four seasons (even if winter does seem to drag on too long sometimes!) It's nice to live in a college town with a lot of unique neighborhoods, plus it's not a far drive to get to some nice state parks.

We are located about 20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge which takes you into NYC. That's what great about it here is that even though our town is very suburban we can hop on a bus on the corner of our street and be in the city in no time. Also depending on which direction you go in, you can be at a beach or in the mountains in less than an hour. Only thing I could do without is the cold weather - it's been so cold this week! I definitely would take our hot and humid summers over our freezing and snowy winters any day!

I lived in Bradenton for 3 years when I was younger and it was awesome! If I could move back I definitely would.
It's so gorgeous! If I could live anywhere in FL, it would be on Long Boat Key. I can't wait to go back!
Haha no hiding it but...if I say Durant people don't know where that is. Here we use Dallas as kind of a marker to explain. Lol I do love Texas though and really would not hate it if DF decided to transfer there.
