Yes, Las Vegas.

It's working out very well. I was a lawyer in nyc, very unhappy, working too many hours, and working with people who didn't value me and just kept taking more and more, and giving less and less.

so I did some soul searching and decided to split - LV was really the only city I could go to, haha. Enough like NYC that I was comfy, different enough to be exciting for me. I like the climate, taxes, and quality of life.

I went into business for myself and am enjoying it. So far so good - it will 'breakout' sometime in next 1/2 year, and I'll be doing much much better.

I work from home though so sometimes I don;t have a lot of human contact. After living in NYC for 33+ years, and after working in the law business for 9 years, it was a welcome change, what can I say? As my business is stabilizing and I am more in a 'maintenence mode' rather than a 'creative mode' I will have more chances to grow into my city, explore it, and establish roots.

I do date though - women in LV are MUCH nicer than women in NYC. Then again, they charge me by the hour, so it's hard for me to say. Well, it's more honest than NYC women! Haha!

I love Las Vegas - I don't miss most of nyc. The things I miss, oddly, besides family and some friends, is being near water. I grew up on manhattan, downtown, so always took waterways for granted. I didn't expect to miss that, but I do.

Visits to NYC are rare for me - I just can't stomach it. It just stinks. I notice the store closing,s the dirt, grime, the lowlifes, etc. NYC became more ugly to me as 2000 rolled in, and every time I visit, it's just a little uglier. I never expected that to happen to me (I always expected to live and die in nyc), but it was time for a radical change. So far so good! Keep me in your prayers! ;-)

I live about 70 miles from NY (in PA) so I don't get there too often. Right now the scenery is beautiful with the changing leaves. Every once in a while we go to NY to see a show so we get to see the nicest parts of the city.

I feel the same way about the water and enjoy going boating at a nearby lake. Best wishes and good luck out there.
