the northeast to the south? Maybe not exactly "city" or "country" but something like that? Just curious how it's like. I can't
imagine how different it would be.
Anyone move from the city to the country or

I moved from Brooklyn to Long Island and I HATED it at first. Now I love it and I wouldn't want to go back.
I love being able to park easily, not
hearing people screaming out my window at night, or cars honking all night. I like that I'm still close enough to go to the city but far enough away to
escape the craziness.

I moved from Northern Indiana to Northern Alabama. Lived there for two years.
I hated it. I moved back. |

I moved from Mississippi (where I grew up all my life) to Maryland, and I love it here. The only reason I would/will move back down south is to be closer to my
family. That and the food. LOL!
Oh, and it is totally!!! different. I was in total culture shock moving up here. I couldn't understand half the people and they sure couldn't understand me. |

i found a job prior to moving and pretty much packed what i could fit in my SUV and drove down. I was lucky enough to have family living 2 hours from where my
job was so one day I drove out and found an apartment. the next day i went and bought furniture and that was it. It happened all really quickly. from being
offered the job to getting to TX it took about 2 weeks

Moved fr. Denver to a town of 80 ppl. HATED it at first. I've since moved to a town of 2,500 ppl, and life is good.
People minded my business WAAAAAY too much. I actually got scolded for hanging wash out on a Sunday, which is supposed to be a day of rest. ANYTHING you say will be repeated. Count on it, and don't gossip. You have to participate in every dam ball tournament, Brownie meeting, Bible Study, bake sale, PTO meeting, and Tupperware party, or you'll get badmouthed. Seriously. When we first moved, I was pregnant, and I seriously felt like the only person who understood what I was going thru was my baby. I'm still kind of extra close to him today, many yrs. later. |

Moved from the suburbs of Omaha to Tempe, AZ... way different climate. I liked it until the job market in Phoenix went shitty and I couldn't find a job.
Just moved back and I don't hate it as much as I remembered hating it at the time. Maybe I'll start to hate it again soon.

I followed a job from the Chicago burbs to mid-Kentucky. For the most part, I liked it. It got old having to drive so far for any but the most basic shopping,
but I managed. I moved back when my siblings started having kids and I missed seeing them as often as I could.
eta: I definitely regret leaving my lovely $60,000 house on an acre surrounded by cornfields and cows. I'll never own for that amount again.
