Makes for a wonderful commute, but to what job? Those are gone, too. I live in the Appalachians (Appalacia 'R Us) and get to drive through the Catskills and the Adirondacks on a fairly regular bases. Who could ask for anything more. How about no snow? Ain't it a bitch when the plows haven't been there yet? And when your car is in the ditch, there tends to be a bit of delay involved there. |

I think probably Atlanta is the only Southern city with a decent transit system. The Miami-Dade system tends to come and go by decades. Right now, it isn't so bad. |

Miami is about the most pet unfriendly place I have ever experienced in my life. Hence, I don't go there and know little about it ;-) |

No dogs allowed on the beach. No dogs allowed in ANY hotel in Miami, etc.

I know quite a bit about francophone Canada. I watch Téléjournal nearly every day on the French channel TV5. I first thought of Lafayette, Indiana - home of Purdue University which I believe is some sort of junior college. As for the Gulf Coast, it might be tolerable in winter [1], but is not fit for human occupation the rest of the time. The heat and humidity in the Upper Midwest is bad enough. [1] Although the 121 inches of snow this winter did not bother me too much. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

I was there last summer in such a rain storm that it washed the expressway away. 6" hunks of concrete were washing down the road. Pretty amazing to see. The infrastructure didn't remain in place. But they rebuilt it pretty quick. Never once will I bitch about the subway or busses or Verizon in the tunnels. *Never once will I have the commute from hell.

Ain't it a bitch when the plows haven't been there yet? And when your car is in the ditch, there tends to be a bit of delay involved there. If there wasn't any snow, then how could the kids go snowboarding? Duh. Not enough snow is more of a problem. Better to turn on the heat in the winter than to turn on the AC in the summer. I don't even have AC in my house (but it's nice in the car). |
