I didn't realize how great Philly was until I moved away. I'd give anything to move back up there. Great place to start a family, good schools in the 'Burbs, friendly people, and a lot of stuff to do. Man, I'm getting all sentimental now......shtein.  :-\

I guess this is my chance to get that starter home up in Olney.   :paranoid

In D.C, according to my lame-ass real-estate agent, a starter home is about $325,000. And that's a townhome with no yard about 40 miles from where I work. If I could find a decent job anywhere near Philly I'd be back in a heartbeat.

I may move back to the Philly area eventually too.  There are a lot of things I don't miss, but more that I do.

I miss Cheerleaders on Front Street.

Good times.

I'm leaving this dump of a city to go back there.

"Next great city" sure seems to imply it's not a great city already.

I'd like to move back, too.

All I need to do now is get fired, and find another great job that allows me to surf and get paid megabucks!!
