Somehow I knew I'd hear from a fan of Peoria with that post. -GGG- I've been to Peoria a few times and I know its not without its charms. I know some people who love the heartland and think us coasters are out of our minds for living where we live. They have a point. What I was really trying to say is where you choose to live has a lot to do with things that aren't easily measured in dollars, that you have to make a list of things you aren't willing to live without and then try to find a place that fills those needs that you can afford. That list can change significantly as you go through life or it can stay fundamentally unchanged. Most people don't do this, they tend to live wherever their job takes them or stay around their extended family which means they sometimes wind up spending a lot of their lives living one place and thinking they should be living somewhere else. If you go through the exercise of figuring out what things are most important to you in terms of a place to live sometimes you find out you should live exactly where you do. So at the very least you get over that nagging feeling that you would be happier living somewhere else. Who knows, it might take you to Peoria, Cedar Rapids or Demming, Wy.
