They took off in a hurry — but these New Yorkers are on the express line back to the city.

Turns out, not all New Yorkers are cut out for country living.
“I was definitely not in farm-shape when I got there,” said Thacher, who briefly volunteered at a friend’s organic homestead.

And so after testing out life in Massachusetts, Vermont and Beacon in upstate New York, Thacher settled on, well, Brooklyn.
“It’s just so easy to walk places without having to plan things out. You can stumble upon bars or restaurants and not be on a script here.”

On June 1, she signed a lease on a much bigger three-bedroom flat in Burlington, Vt., where she moved with her two Siberian Huskies.
“After two weeks I was like, ‘Is this all there is? Where is everybody?’ ”

She was happy to return to the churn of fast-paced city life — and soon found herself back in her old routine of visiting museums, walking through Riverside Park and volunteering with the Wild Bird Fund.
“I moved back right in time for the Met re-opening,” said Cross. “When I walked into the room with the Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko paintings, my cells fell back into place.”

Well, if they were gone during the census they will contribute to the loss of representatives
Where you are doesn’t count as “suburbs”!
Keep the New Yawkers in New Yawk City, because they are a plague. And I’m from Long Island. I know these people.
Oh, so her poor doggies are back in their cells, instead of running around in VT farmland.
She’s cruel.
The dogs look happy enough....I mean...that’s what really counts.....right?
I see white tailed deer under my window, and foxes roam the streets. Yeah, it's a suburb.
From your lips to etc. etc.
There have been literally thousands moving to the Rocky Mountain region, buying property after property, large and small, often without having SEEN what they have purchased, let alone actually visiting the area.
The sky-rocketing prices are merely amusing to those like me who have been here for years and are, in most cases, unimpressed by yet another land rush.
A few big blizzards, a tree or two falling in on your home, a forced evacuation because of a lightning strike somewhere up wind...there's a sense that after a month or two of lonely nights, no cell reception, no hospitals or even doctors nearby, nothing but loutish yahoos (me, for instance) in the nearby woods...there might be some good deals to be made before the winter is out.
It's always amusing to see such sharp (and on the mark) comments over the byline of the presumably fragile Ms. Crane.
Nobody's business, I'm sure, but one wonders from whence etc.
Ah, I thought you were very close to Reisterstown Rn inside the beltway!
Different strokes for different folks. I’m glad there’s people like her, it leaves more room for people like us.
You’d date a total stranger before your own flesh and blood? What kind of person are you?
Even without the violence and murders I couldn’t stand living in a big city. It is horrible.
LOL. How often do you go into Manhattan for the museums or theaters or restaurants? Just wondering.
In her defense she did move to what I consider the “ugly side of Vermont”. Burlington sucks, it’s flat and ugly. Yes it has the lake, but you are on the lee side where it’s windy and cold most of the time and in early winter the lake effect is brutal. Siberia would be preferable.
Thank you, tell all your liberal friends that suburbia and the Country life is unbearable and continue to shelter in place
Seriously?
When was the last time you saw a B’way show, since March 2020?
Oh, that’s right....you didn’t...because they’re SHUT DOWN, until God knows when, because of CommieCuomo.
I see more NY license plates, in TX, lately, than I’ve EVER seen. Even during the 80s.
Now, stop kissing your sister, Hunter!
;-)
AH...Mrs. Crane...thin...very thin, however not fragile by any stretch. We, strong women, don’t have to look like Sylvester Stallone, you know.

I shall have to think twice about humming one of my favorite songs, Moonlight in Vermont.
Hopefully, I’ll forget your very graphic picture and know that there some beautiful spots, I’m sure.
Thanks for the truth.
It will be very instructive to the city folk when they start the Civil War only to discover food does not come from trucks...
Yes, yes, that's very true. And thank goodness it is.
Regards to you as well.
