Eleanor's Trousers is starting 101 in 1001 days on 08/06/08
but it can be done. I moved from suburban Atlanta to Atlanta proper, then to rural NJ, then to Pittsburgh, and now to downtown DC. It’s a trade-off… I am now car free, so if you insist on cars and strip malls, the burbs may be more your speed. Parking is at a premium. Bedroom size is at a premium. But, there are great local bars and coffee houses, delicious restaurants, small non-corporate bookstores, museums, diversity, and traffic noise to lull you to sleep. What can I say, I was made for life in the concrete jungle. Trees are for vacation and parks.
A matter of history, and currently a matter of finance. It will change.
