What are some of the little things you have to adjust to that people might not think of before moving there?


stuff like all the football games coming on early as shit etc.

1/20/2008 2:38:07 AM

are you moving to alaska?

1/20/2008 2:38:30 AM

lack of thought on this subject has attested catastrophic

1/20/2008 2:38:44 AM

^^ probably not, but I was thinking of interesting/really different places to live that would still be in the US.

hahaha, was that gleeful optimism that I was? haha

i've had a real desire to live in maine lately. although that's not as different as alaska.

1/20/2008 2:40:45 AM

north carolina
california
hawaii




Q: states in which i would reside

[Edited on January 20, 2008 at 2:42 AM. Reason : long term]

1/20/2008 2:41:48 AM

^^ yeah, that would be somewhat similar weather wise but I meant more like time wise, taking forever for shit to be shipped to you etc.

[Edited on January 20, 2008 at 2:42 AM. Reason : d]

1/20/2008 2:42:13 AM

i doubt it takes forever. bet a plane from LA to anchorage and one to raleigh take about the same amount of time. plus i bet they can bust ass to alaska and not worry about the route

1/20/2008 2:43:48 AM

yeah, but I would think they wouldnt have as many flights, and definitely not as many trucking/train trips

1/20/2008 2:44:31 AM

ha i didnt know you could drive it

lol, if you mean to imply that you wouldn't post on tdub if you did, no. your one of a handful of people in sportstalk who actually knows what they're talking about, even if you do spam vol propaganda everywhere.

1/20/2008 2:46:43 AM

damn those driving directions really put shit in perspective

and my list of states i could live in are nc, georgia, va, fl, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe illinois, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe colorado, and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe washington state...thats about all i can think of

out of those i'd most like to live in either nc or washington state, but out of those 5 washington state is def. my last option

yea i'll add washington state to my list

1/20/2008 2:51:34 AM

is stuff like beef really fucking expensive there?


do you pretty much have to have a car with 4 wheel drive?



everyone have a beard?

1/20/2008 2:53:38 AM

the woman from the oregon DOT at the career fair made a good case for oregon.

right now, places i'm kindof considering after graduation are as follows, in no particular order:

nc
illinois
wisconsin
pennsylvania
or anywhere in new england

1/20/2008 2:54:12 AM

^ taxes are such a bitch in NE, but it would be sweet as shit in Vermont or Maine or something


Oregon would be a big one, Portland is an amazing city

1/20/2008 2:55:13 AM

agreed. love portland. lust seattle.

1/20/2008 2:55:58 AM

i need access to a coast...i must shred the slopes though too

1/20/2008 2:56:01 AM

what i really want to live in is a medium sized town. not a suburb, but a good old fashioned town.

i don't know why that appeals to me so much. oh, and i want it to be cold.

1/20/2008 2:56:43 AM

to be more specific

washington- seattle
illinois- chicago
colorado- just think its a decent place to live
florida- eastern time zone, cities, beaches- con- hurricanes and jews, prolly wouldnt live there, infact i put it as last place
va- very similar to nc
nc- best state to live in my opinion
ga-atlanta


thats how i feel as of right now being 23 and graduating in less than a year

[Edited on January 20, 2008 at 2:57 AM. Reason : and i kinda want to say oregon...honestly...actually i will...and i hear they have no sales tax]

1/20/2008 2:57:03 AM

I dont care about the coast, but I have to live in an urban area, doesnt have to be a big city but has to be urban.


Would be cool as shit to own a pub in some little town in alaska

1/20/2008 2:57:27 AM

you want a town?

oracle, az

but its hot

1/20/2008 2:57:30 AM

1/20/2008 2:58:35 AM

couldnt stand AZ, way too hot and dry

1/20/2008 2:58:52 AM

ok new order...i thought in my head just now based off my last posts etc

nc
ga
virginia
washington
oregon
illinois
florida

if only alaska was like out cold (movie)

Atlanta is fun, went through some real shit periods as it grew way too big too fast but its catching up to itself now, I love it here

1/20/2008 2:59:46 AM

nd Montreal would be a sweet road trip... very european city, by far the most european of any major city in North America, and its not really that far at all

so from the sounds of it, you and i are on the same page here.

although, i wouldn't say i have to, b/c (on campus in raleigh excluded), i've never done such.

1/20/2008 3:02:44 AM

yeah i think that arizona is one of those places that you get sick of. at least the desert part. on the other hand, i think that flagstaff and everything that way would be great, and within a decent temperature and humidity range

1/20/2008 3:02:53 AM

^^ yeah, I liked raleigh best when I lived in CV, but then I bought a house out on capital and it was nice, big size etc, but I fucking hated the suburbs

[Edited on January 20, 2008 at 3:05 AM. Reason : d]

1/20/2008 3:04:06 AM

yeah, i'm really not a big fan of raleigh as a city. it's a megaburb, congested and way too hot for my taste.

however my grandparents and aunt/uncle live here, who are awesome, and i <3 state athletics. raleigh as a city has no draw to it at all for me.

1/20/2008 3:10:21 AM

yup

1/20/2008 3:11:27 AM

oh, and there's no god damn water.

1/20/2008 3:15:39 AM

^ where are you from originally

1/20/2008 3:18:52 AM

born in alabama, moved to charlotte at ~1 year, moved to pennsylvania when i was 14, then down here for school.

1/20/2008 3:23:46 AM

i've spent a fair amount of time in tunkhannock, pa

[Edited on January 20, 2008 at 3:25 AM. Reason : ]

1/20/2008 3:25:13 AM

raleigh is terrible. wake county as a whole is terrible. i havent totally given up on NC. i did, but i gave it another chance (some would say that i was forced to ) and i'm really liking the greensboro area, plus for whatever stupid reason the same house in raleigh would be a fuckton more and it wouldnt be anywhere near as close to anything as my place now

1/20/2008 3:25:15 AM

i am pretty high on san fran at the moment

1/20/2008 3:26:51 AM

^^^ after consulting googlemaps, that's not too far from me, my family's in the bethlehem area.

actually in bethlehem would be a cool place to live, and fits all my criteria of being a smaller urban environment and cold. however, it's way to close to where i went to highschool, so i can't live there out of principle.
