Are you moving to a little redneck town?  Because you just answered my question and I'd like to be able to answer your!

Yes, the small towns are not small towns anymore. Big box stores like Wal-mart have moved in killing small businesses. Big chain restaurants like McDonalds have moved in, killing out all the mom and pop restaurants. Urban sprawl has taken over, meaning all the trees and land on the outskirts of town have been mowed over and paved to accomodate all these franchises, so we are losing our green-space. And if you notice, every town now has the exact same stores and restaurants, so travel is a real drag. You can drive 100 miles and it is just like you are home. There is an eerie similarity like in the children's book "A Wrinkle In Time" where all the houses were alike. And you talk about hectic! When I was a kid, you could walk down the middle of the street at night-time because everyone was home sleeping. Now, the traffic rolls by as steadily at 2 AM, as it does at 2PM. It's all a real shame, and I'm very disgusted with it all. Thanks for asking by the way, I think I needed to vent that! : )

check the crime rate, check the school standing nationally, check the neighborhoods, check the local tax rate. what about the seasons?  without these numbers it is too difficult to decide. you say fiance, do you want kids, how friendly is the new place to kid and family activities? is the birth hopital good? \nIt is always good to try something new, but it has great risk. You know these jobs, you know these people, what about the new ones? Can you come back if you change your mind? if the new place is awful? Will you be losing any major benefits like health care or pensions?\nAvoid declining states like Ohio, land poor states like Hawaii, or incredibly money poor states like Nebraska and Tennessee (average income is less than 30,000, to name only a few). No matter what state, there are towns that will never accept a newcomer as a local. That means police harrassment for anything and everything. Example, setting trash out for pick up too early or not keeping your lawn the requisite three and one half inches tall...  (I have lived in each of these places so please don't be a hater, I wasn't a local, I didn't know the "rules" and have a bad taste in my mouth from these places, I actually still live in one of the states listed) \nIt is worth a bit more research, the more that you look, you will find a concrete answer to what you ask by finding something important to you. Also, checking the top ten lists of metros will help. (kid friendly list, crime rate list etc.)Trust me when I say the numbers and risks and benefits are not the same when you dig far enough down.\nYou may want to stay, you may want to go, but your digging will show you everything that you have maybe missed doing where you are before you leave.

I would have said no!  Maybe it depends on what minority.  I have a dear friend who is gay who lived there for quite awhile, and he said it is a college town (like our home town), very cool, very accepting, and that there is quite a gay community there.  He liked living there.

Probably not Philidelphia. Why not stay at boston and simply move to a cheaper apartment. If not, go to New York.

"low 40s high 90s all year around easy to find jobs, affordable renting, friendly people"???????\n\nAre you kidding? If this place existed it would have a population of 50 million. And then the rent would no longer be affordable due to supply and demand, and the people would no longer be friendly due to congestion and traffic problems, and all the jobs would be taken.\n\nGood luck finding this utopia.

I have 2 nieces that recently moved to New York City.  One of them check different bulletin boards around some of the colleges there and found a decent apartment in Manhatten.  The other one and a number of her friends have moved to Brooklyn  They say it's a lot more affordable there.\n\nHope this helps some.

I love my small town. But I also like the fact that the next town over has everything you need...Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, restaurants, a movie theater, ect...\n\nFind youself a sweet spot like this, and you need nothing more.

move out, head for bd19, its far enough to not have the same hassle but near enough to not be moving too far from the friend/family/job you might already have. staying in bradford is not a good idea for any white person anymore. admit deafeat, we lost. Its fast becoming a rat infested dump anyway

It is all about money.  I lived there a long time ago, and it had one of the most wonderful collection of old great homes in the world.  Because it was so nice, with marvelous trees lining the streets, and the envy of many, the demand to live there continued to grow.  Naturally they started to run out of room.  The result was that so many of the homes were on big lots and contractors saw the possibility of cashing in by knocking down the old homes and putting up two new ones on the same lots.  Gradually the character of the town changed from the classic old town of brick and stucco to the brand new show homes, usually without the same class or good taste.  And of course the people will change also, because they are different as well.  It is happening everywhere around the globe to some degree or another.  Change is inevitable and money drives it all.  And tastes change.  Many are led to believe that a brand new home is better than a classic old one.   It was sad for me to see it happening as I had to let go of a fond old memory and times gone by.  I feel for you as I have felt it myself.  Let me know if you wish to talk more.

It would be great to meet some of the people here, they are funny and very nice.\n\nAs a grandmother, there are some I would like to take a switch to.

We love the idea of moving to a smaller town too.  We were thinking of somewhere in Mississippi though.
