Interesting read. We are ex-pats and constantly flirting with the idea of moving back to the USA, but as we are both from mid-Atlantic suburbs, going back to those areas is not terribly attractive. We figure that all mid-sized cities will offer the things we are looking for, so narrowing down the choices has so far been impossible.
Someday when this degree is over (idiot young me had to go to school 2 thousand miles from home) I will return to South Wisconsin and enjoy a life of road maintenance, deer and pheasant hunting, and college football. Alas paradise is a few years out still.
I’m more than happy living in The Woodlands and my “bubble”. My kids and grandchild are within 15 min. We have lived here 23 years. I do have to travel to rural Missouri to see my parents but 1 brother lives next door to them on the “home place”.
