In a week and a day, I'll no longer be living in NYC.

Finally, after so long, I'm moving down south, to South Carolina. Got a job, signed a lease on an apartment, and I'm gonna get my first car down there. Things are looking up, and I hope that down the line, I'm making the right decision.

Good Luck and best wishes. In a year hopefully I will retire and sell everything in Commiefornia and move closer to northeast Texas where my grand children are.

I'm moving down south, to South Carolina.

Watch out for golf carts on the roads and the drunken lady who crashes into them.

Congrats on your move. You will really enjoy the absence of Alternate Parking days and a general sense of freedom. I moved out of NYC in the fall of 2019 and never looked back.

Can’t be anywhere close to as bad as NYC regarding driving. I’d say some of my views are... off the charts.

That is a sad, yet very touching way to describe how things stand with you. Wife and I have both decided to be cremated, when both of us are gone we have told the girls it doesn’t matter what they do with our ashes so long as she and I stay together. As for the grits, that’s my sweet-n-sour “recipe”.

We did it the simple way; sold everything we didn’t want to keep, put furniture and antiques in storage, loaded up the RV and the golf cart and away we went. We are living the RV life for a year, gonna consider options throughout this year and go from there. Texas, particularly the San Antonio area where we are, is a beautiful state with more history than I could explore in two lifetimes. It will be amazing to be able to show her and my son some of the places I have been and “discover” the history of others together.

Congrats & Best of Luck to you! As a “damn Yankee”, I agree with whoever posted the first summer will be an adjustment! We moved from NJ to North Carolina just shy of 34 yrs ago. The humidity the first summer here was brutal...I thought it would kill me...haha...but once you get used to it, well, you are used to it. Took me about 3 yrs to love living here in NC. Now you couldn’t pay me to go back north...even for a visit! Things will seem to move very slow the first year but before you know it, you will be moving just as slow. haha People are nicer, traffic isn’t as bad and the one thing that really sticks out to me is how beautiful, open, and clean everything in the South is compared to up North. We were in NJ about 6 yrs ago for a funeral and as soon as everything was over with, I told my husband....let’s get out of here NOW! Everywhere in NJ we went it seemed so dirty and houses were on top of each other. Traffic was a nightmare and made me very nervous. The closer we got to “home” [NC] the lower my BP got again. Yes, it is an adjustment going from North to South, but if you give it time, I bet you will love it and be sorry you didn’t make the move sooner!

Addendum; we did consider the apartment route but decided against it. Our son is a home-schooler and apartment living seemed to be too restrictive for his socializing needs. We have found the RV life to be quite fun and meet new people almost every day - there are some unusually kind and friendly people in our “community” of RV’ers.

I could never handle the heat.

Even Ottawa/Montreal was too much for me.

Interesting...
I pretty much said the same thing when that scumbag John Lindsey began the total cultural destruction of NYC in 1966...

I spent the night of January 2nd/3rd 2014 in a town called Val d-Or,Quebec (well north of Montreal). When I arrived in the town at about 6PM on the 2nd it was about -30F (don't know what that is in Celsius). It was cold! The first thing I did on arrival was go to a gas station.The first station I went to told me that their pumps weren't working...they were frozen. I got gas at the next one I visited.

Next morning,while checking out,the TV in the lobby said it was -40,as did the display on my dashboard (-40F and -40C are,I discovered on that very day,the same).

You talk about heat? Let's talk about cold in Montreal or Ottawa! ;-)

Best wishes! We have a house in SC so we are part timers there. I think you will like it.

Ottawa/Montreal can be cold at times. But not as much as northern Quebec or even Quebec City.

But both are hot and high humidity in summer. People even from the Southeast or Florida are surprised how hot they are in the Summer.

I grew up in Vancouver, and in England, so i don’t like the heat.
