I also lived in Marin County for a couple of years. Great Northern California area and within a matter of 4 hours from Lake Tahoe and all the great ski resorts there.

I also spent a lot of time in Sausalito but you have t be very wealthy to live there for any length of time.

If you can afford it, buy one of those huge homes that has the San Francisco Bay in the back yard and do a lot of entertaining.

Is this true or are you finding that in the 10 years you are paying more attention of what is going on around you?

I can definitely say that it has gone down hill. The Baltimore/DC corridor was always bad but now even moreso. Everything is a strip mall. A few years back they destroyed a few thousand acres of forest near my hood to put in the largest mall on the east coast and all the shopping centers and apartments that came with it. Now slots will be going in. Combine that with BRAC bringing an additional 10,000-15,000 personnel to Fort Meade and BOOM.. we've gone off the chart. It really looks like Norfolk/Hampton area Virginia now and I couldn't stand it when I was stationed there.

Either way.. time to go.

move to canada so we can hang out

Drove to Montreal once from Maine.. I liked it actually. Although at this point it wouldn't take much to be better than here.

Maybe.. or both. The Baltimore/DC corridor is just terrible now. Everything is a strip mall. It really looks like Norfolk/Hampton area Virginia now and I couldn't stand it.

Either way.. time to go.

D.C. is horrible to go through....so many people from countries that do not speak English. I hate going to The National Institute of Health and picking up a Taxi Cab.

I try to speak to them but i just get.....hagsgdjaa ddajdskjkdal siriirrrrr..

I moved from London to Dallas in 2003 and will never move back. I love it here in Texas because of the open space, the weather, the women are smoking hot and it is a great standard of living.

If you want to leave what you have in London, avoid NYC, its the same just less polite.

Yeah I can believe that, Im in the Uk and lived in London for a few years, visited texas and loved the open space and weather. Would definately like to move there.

How did you end up moving across to the US. Was it with work, seems pretty much impossible to get over to the US.

I feel u bro!
Then look up OKC. Growing population (for the better), thriving economy, good school systems, safe (depending on location), centrally located, close to 2 major enjoyable cities (K.C 4hrs, Dallas 3hrs)

I know. I cannot stand N.C. You have people like Goodrum and the Adonis up there.

don't hold that against it......they are both abominations. I'm sure vince doesn't advertise his "sexual preference" where he lives and I'm sure Adam doesn't spout his nonsense to the VAST majority of native NC'ers.....

I was about to say that.. just left there tonight pissed because my store in that area is being targeted heavily for theft. Too close to Baltimore for my taste but old EC is one of my fav hangouts.

Bethesda, MD

used to live there.....

absolutely hated it. Overpriced and unreal traffic in the surrounding areas. It would take me 45 minutes to get to the gym...which was 5 miles away.

Metro was cool though...and there were some good bars and restaurants in the the downtown area.

Is this thread still going? I thought I settled this. Where else can you hit the beach and wine country in the same day?

Hey, bay! Thanks for posting that San Francisco beach photo. I lived many years ago in the background (on the southern side of GG Park) in the Sunset neighborhood on 36th avenue (the Boulevard) and hit that beach just about every weekend ... fog or shine - didn't make any difference. Right below that picture spot is where surfing started in Northern California.... right below the Cliff House and near Seal Rocks.

And that large row of condo townhouses in that photo was where the old Playland at the Beach was located. It was a great place for kids from all over the Bay Area back then.

That photo brought back some damn fine memories.

I'll try to find a photo I took of that area during a recent visit. You just might recognize what it is.
