Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 The Buffalo Rising thread got me thinking. If you had to move what would you miss most about your neighborhood and state. For me: Neighborhood (Oakland): The Fox Theater. I see six or so concerts there a year and it's 10 minutes away. Great venue with great acts. Close second is Napa/Sonoma Valleys. State: This one is a bit harder because CA has so much to offer but I'd have to say the climate
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 This is a tough one as I generally hate PA/Philly I'd say proximity to NYC, and some of the local food scene.
Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2016 Author Posted July 29, 2016 Whats a state? CBF Canadians can keep it simple and just say nothing.
USMCBillsFan Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Moving back to Olean after 25 years away I'd have to say the only thing I'd miss would be family. That's the only reason I moved back here but this place is awful anymore. As for the state, the only thing would be my proximity to the Ralph and being able to go to Bills home games.
John from Riverside Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 If I had to leave EVERYTHING behind? I would miss my grandson.....the kid just melts me with the new things he does every day.
KD in CA Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I just did have the move. I miss grass. No not that kind, plenty of that around here.
Deranged Rhino Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Ts. I just did have the move. I miss grass. No not that kind, plenty of that around here. You mean the brown brush of California isn't doing it for ya?
DC Tom Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 In both cases: The Intercounty Connector. Yes, that's right. If I had to leave here, the only thing I'd miss is one single toll road.
Chef Jim Posted July 29, 2016 Author Posted July 29, 2016 I just did have the move. I miss grass. No not that kind, plenty of that around here. Think of all the time you'll save not having to mow your lawn. Oh and leave yourself a not as to where you put your umbrella. You'll have no need for one over the next six months. And that's after not using it the past three either.
The Poojer Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 what's a state? i haven't lived in one of them since i left NY The Buffalo Rising thread got me thinking.

snafu Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Not counting friends I've made along the way on Long Island, I would miss the beaches. I'd miss absolutely nothing else.

plenzmd1 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Richmond:..Just how easy everything is. No traffic, no crowds, great restaurants that always have openings, hour to beach, hour to mountains, never a problem getting a tee time....everything is just freaking easy. DC..Once we get to our place, never use a car again till we leave...and something cool and fun to do all the time.Never bored
Azalin Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Austin: I'd miss all the other musicians, shows, TexMex, and Margaritas. Texas: I could certainly do without the hot weather. Warm is fine, but this is ridiculous. And the giant, flying roaches. And all the allergens - Austin and San Antonio pretty much take turns having the worst pollen counts in the nation, and having a nose the size of mine just makes it worse.

Gugny Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Queensbury, NY: I'd miss the Adirondacks and virtually no threat of natural disaster. I'd miss my parents. And that's it. This town is full of fake ass snobs and pretentious pricks. For some reason, our son loves his school and that is the only thing keeping us here. I think the entire state of NY sucks it, to tell you the truth.
The Poojer Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Only thing I'd allow myself to miss are the people I'd met. I've moved to new areas 3 times and have forced myself to not look back and compare places to each other. In my experience it's been my way of making my moves successful. I've loved Syracuse and Richmond and now Philly. Hopefully I won't have another hometown, but if I do, I'll embrace that place and make it my new home with zero regrets
Wayne Cubed Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I've moved around quite a few times. I miss family the most and then probably certain food. That's pretty much it. When I was in SoCal I actually missed the change of seasons.
CountDorkula Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 SW Atlanta GA. I'd miss the extremely low property taxes. The ability to play golf all year round. A place where you can actually see the transformation happening. Every time I turnaround there is another restaurant going up, or a sub-division, or a new shopping center. 15 years ago this place was a single lane road with a stop light. It has exploded since, and is continuing to rise. I missed Buffalo food, but just found out Publix will start carrying Sahlens hot dogs and Duffs is opening a location 5 minutes from my house.
