Tell me about your town

I'm so conflicted about Alaska.

On the plus side - much less populated, cheaper real estate, and they have no law school so there are no "locals" to compete with. (Actually, based on the summer in Alaska program operated from my school, we sort of are the locals.)

On the minus side - darkness. Not so much a problem for me (although I'm kind of getting in to gardening) but definitely a potential problem for the spouse, who already has problems with winters here, much less further north.

California and Arizona have the sun going for them. Sun = more gardening for me (I'm getting obsessed with growing my own veggies) and better moods for Ryan. I'm also throwing Orlando into the mix, as I have family there. (And if I can't be near DL, I could at least be part of the WDW welcoming committee.) And I've been to Orlando and I actually like it. I can stand the heat. And my asthma actually does much better with some humidity.


Which means I'm also curious about: Ocala, Miami, Tallahassee, Pensacola, Panama City, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.

Don't forget the consolation for 4 months of near-constant darkness is 4 months of near-constant sun. I understand they have an incredible marij growing season as a result.

If you're anywhere that's not equal distance to the Gulf and Atlantic (and I think all of these are on one coast or the other), you have to deal with hurricane preparedness (which is a PITA and the season 'starts' Friday )
