Norm, Say it ain't so. You can't move from the Philly area!!! What about the Liberty Bell? What about 45 minutes from Atco? What about 75 minutes from Maple Grove. How about 40 minutes from Atlantic City? What about Carlisle? New York City just 90 minutes away! Not to mention cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, TastyKakes, scrapple and....GTO DON!!! Won't you miss Rocky Balboa? Say it ain't so Norm! Especially to the wind torn, dust bowl of the country! There are NO beaches in Kansas. No Norm don't do it! You will be missed greatly.

I moved out of Seattle after 42 years to Arkansas. Great place to live, kinda too laidback at times. No stress, no Traffic, moderate weather and real nice People. We bought our House 3 years ago, 3 Bdrm, 2 bath, Attached 2 car Garage it was Brand New paid $130.00. Added a Seperate 2 car for $30,000. Nice area.

[/ QUOTE ] Now thats what I am talking about .A row home in n/e philly are going around 150-175.000 Now that is NUTs
most of them do not even have a drive way
cheesesteaks, soft pretzels yea might miss then
the Jersey shore well it is so done used to hag out down Ocean city for years. Did not go down once last year they ruined it
there is soo much greed. If they could find a way to tax the air you breath belive me they would do it.They do charge a fee to walk out on the beach. every thing that was nice at the jersey shore is long gone I am living on a fixed income so the mid west sounds like I can get more for my money I have right now I am in the Research mode

West/Northern Illinois is really building now,and has some of the best Land/Home values at a decent price.
It also has access to nearly everything the surrounding Midwest has to offer within a short driving distance.(Albeit a toll is required)
Just a thought..

[Clears his throat]
Owen: People train runs out of Stubbville.

Norm, How about the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Very, very nice with great weather and good housing and prices. Take a ride down 81 out of Carlisle. Beautiful!!! If I didn't have all my kids around here I would be thinking that area.

Norm, I've been building, new homes in KS for 20+ yrs now, around 220 the last time I thought to count them all up. Your friend is correct regarding the cost of living and home prices. Even with the run-up in real estate values over the past several years, nice homes are cheap in the midwest. Wichita KS, Tulsa OK, Springfield MO, that whole area is pretty neat. I build in NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas for the most part. Nice 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage homes on full basements are plentiful in the 130K and up range. I hang out with 2 FAST racing buddies who live in Erdenheim and Oreland PA. It's a neat place, but definitely crowded.

PS Don't worry about tornadoes either, a warning siren will always sound just about 10 minutes after a twister hits.
