Lafayette Hill, PA > Rochester, NY > Souderton, PA > Chapel Hill, NC > Baltimore, MD > Chapel Hill, NC (again!) > Philly.

Looks like I'm an "east coast" type of guy!

As for why: Rochester was for schooling (RIT), Chapel Hill (first time) was for girlfriend's schooling (UNC). All other moves were work/career related.

Here's mine:

Kiev, Ukraine -> NE Philly -> Southampton, PA -> College Park, MD -> Southampton, PA -> Edison, NJ -> Fishtown

Living in the DC area and North Jersey really helped me appreciate Philly on a whole new level.

East Falls->Castor Gardens->Glenside->Roxborough.


Farthest I ever got out of the city is Glenside, which isn't really very far at all.

Steveatx, I understand that the new Managing Director for Philadelphia held a similar post in Austin, Tx. Any insight as to how she helped the Austin or how her administration performed?

Was your choice of Philadelphia photo an editorial comment, or around the corner from you?

I'll lay odds you can find some run-down sections of London. Maybe not that beat-up, but run down nonetheless.

Ditto Edinburgh.

Probably not Canterbury or the obscure Scottish villages.

Kansas City (MO) --> Cambridge, MA --> Watertown, MA --> Allston (Boston), MA --> Philadelphia (Center City/Wash West)

But you all knew this, didn't you?

Dragged down here kicking and screaming by my partner. Grew to love it as only a non-native, it seems, can.

Used to think I could never live in Kansas City again. After my most recent visit, while I still doubt I ever will, I no longer think that. Don't see myself leaving Philly anytime soon, though, and they'd have to pay me handsomely to make me go.
