There is an important question to answer before you move somewhere.

Heard a story that goes like this:
A car pulls to the curb, gestures to the gentleman on the lawn to come closer,
and asks... "What is this area like"?
The gentleman asks in return: "What is the area your moving from like"?
Terrible the driver says. Afraid to go out at night, nobody talks to anyone,
just a bunch of thieves!
Well, the gentleman answers...this neighborhood is alot like that.
Then.... a short while later...
Another car pulls to the curb, gestures to the gentleman on the lawn to come closer,
and asks... "What is this area like"?
The gentleman asks in return: "What is the area your moving from like"?
Excellent the driver says! Friends behind every door, and everyone knows everyones name.
We all watch out for each other...my family has just outgrown the house.
We love it otherwise and will really hate to leave.
Well, the gentleman answers...this neighborhood is alot like that.
Crime, law abiding, safe, unsafe... you have to feel it.
Walk the streets, rest in a Park with a book from the library,
attend a church you have never been to then go have
breakfast at a local non franchise restaurant.
You know the kind, where every body knows every body...
and nobody knows you!
After that, nobody will have to tell you...you will know - is this a place I want to go?
Onward!
