I’ve been gone since 2001, but it holds a special place in my heart. Nobody ever truly leaves, they just go away for a while. Then they miss things like swimming in Social Ocean, the fragrance on NETCO on a warm sunny day, getting serenaded by being yelled at by crackheads outside of Moonlight Weiners, the women fighting for equal pay on Arnold Street, the smell of secondhand smoke mixed in with your lo mein at Chan’s, the sound of piss sizzling in the sauna when that weirdo keeps sneaking back in to the health and racquet club men’s locker room, buying an autumnfest button in August and wearing it on your Tazmanian devil sweatshirt until June. You just can’t find these things anywhere else.

I’m glad it was helpful info for you! Flourtown, Germantown, and Cherry Hill (that’s NJ) are some other nice ones.

I quite like Atlantic City. Way less hectic than Philly, but you still have that great location.

I hear you on Oregon. Either way, moving to the east coast is a great idea. Just a matter of where fits you best.

I’m originally from Florida and moving this way improved my quality of life ten-fold. Most states have great healthcare, great proximity to other cities/nature, tons of top-notch schools, access to immense history/art, and you can find higher paying jobs here.

If you were able to handle SF crime/HCOL, I think you’re good in this general area then.

I wish you luck on finding your new home! Feel free to message if you need any other advice. It’s not easy but so worth it.
