I want to get out of Illinois... or at the very least, out of Cook County.
It was fun when I moved here 30+ years ago, but not anymore. |

Fuck no.
I like our property, and our house. Neighbors are fine too...but the surrounding area you have to navigate through? Fuck that noise. Panhandlers on the streetcorners, traffic populated by a high percentage of fucking idiots that learned how to drive via video games, no fucking places to shoot without traveling for hours, no normal cap mags unless grandfathered in, complete fucking criminals for representatives (voted in by more complete fucking idiots that are manipulated by master propagandists), "multiculturalism", blah fucking blah. Out of here in 1.5 years, going to travel for a few years, then find a place in a free state with lower population, then keep traveling on and off until we croak. |

I left Maryland a year ago and moved to Virginia and so far I'm pretty happy about it. While not perfect, VA is so much better than that cesspool of liberalism on the opposite shore of the Potomac.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
No. Fuck Dallas. Seriously, I don't know how you can drive on those roads on a daily basis. When I visited there for a few short days I learned one lesson very quickly. When you are taking an on ramp, act as if the light on the drag strip just turned green and floor it. The speed limit is like 70 but the avg speed of traffic is closer to 95 
The only other place I would consider moving to would be Miami or New Orleans (lived there previously and I live hour away from NOLA). Realistically, I would like to move about 15 minutes south of my current place. It would put me 10-15 minutes from my closest office and about 40 minutes away from my other office. |

Nipa Hut would be worth it. Kind of same deal here, except job pays alright, but not well. The moment I find a job "back home" that pays as well or better than this one, I'm packing up and gone. Actually, I started packing a while ago, that's how serious I am about getting outta here. Just waiting on the right job. |

I'm mostly good out in small-town/country south of Dallas. Work in my industry is getting sucky, and I've been around for work, so I might pack up and leave.
The only problem is that I like the cold and mountains of the Intermountain West, and my wife doesn't like the cold at all. She'd go in a heartbeat, but would want to drag her parents along, too, so  .

My sister and nephew are in Indiana, not sure if I'd want to live in the NW part of the state though, it's really an extension of Chicago. I'd prefer Indianapolis or the part of southern Indiana that is suburban Louisville. Central PA is another place I'd consider. But no, I hate IL. Chicago is a nice city but I don't want to live here forever. Georgia is another place I'd want to live but it's really humid.
