Been in Vermont couple months now. I miss the culture and the food of the big city, but enjoy the quiet and simple life Vermont offers. Also I save a shit ton of money. I think Ill keep my place here for the winter months and ski season but I don't think I could be here forever. 5-7 years Ill probably head elsewhere. San Diego still calls my name.

Also I bought a ring..

South Side
Have been looking to relocate. Bought my house in early 2012. It's gone up a lot in value. With interest rates what they are I'm dying on the Southside with my $1200 mortgage. I genuinely feel awful for anyone trying to buy under the age of 25. This is insanity.

I think the controversy over the Blackhawks nickname and logo can be solved by shortening the nickname to just "Hawks" and changing the logo to the bird called hawk. It would be similar to how the Tri-Cities Blackhawks of the NBA rebranded as the Hawks upon moving to Milwaukee in 1951 (they later moved to St. Louis and are now based in Atlanta).

Ottauqueeche river.

They dam it to create a lake on the NH, VT border and it cuts through the gorge.

This state is awesome, though. Just bought two kayaks and some life vests and were gonna rip up the white river next weekend.

Also I live like an hour from the NH border and they have no sales tax and that is awesome.

It's not, you just have to look for it. Starved Rock and really anywhere in the Illinois River Valley, and northwest in the Apple River Valley are both gorgeous areas of Illinois.

Been to starved rock many times. Went to Galena last fall as well and made a detour to drive through those valleys. Both beautiful places. We're not near the oceanic coasts or near any mountain ranges which limits our local landscape. Illinois is ok but very few must see things in nature. Lake Michigan being the most impressive IMO as it really does look like an ocean and the bright blues you see on a sunny day are gorgeous.

Galena was a shock to behold when we visited. Fun small town with a great tourist zone and a beautiful area all around it. Anyone that’s looking for a date weekend but not wanting to break the bank or travel very far should look at Galena.

And maybe it’s the Central Illinoisan in me, but there is a quiet and calm beauty to the countryside down here.

The parking in downtown Galena is a bish though!
