    I've moved WAY too many times to list em all, but, I moved to SC 3 years ago, because after searching for 3 years, I couldn't find anything I could afford/ qualify for using the VA loan, in E. MA/ RI. Just too figgin EXPENSIVE!
    Now, all those houses, are being RE-VALUED. HA!
    Still out of range for me though.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Definitely a great area. We'd have moved back there had the job market not been so lacking. Next time your back, try to catch the football team in action; 3 national titles in a row!

    I was military, so I've been in numerous countries, some for days, weeks, months at a time. Just depended on when the mission was complete. I have 16 countries under belt to Japan, Korea, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Malayasia, Hong Kong, Dubai, U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Guam, Oman, Bahrain, Afghanistan,Kuwait, Seychelles, and Italy. With all of that said I grew up in SC, lived in Cali after the USMC, finished school, got a nice job as an engineer, and here I am back in Japan where I have been since 03.

    Bob, I'm sorry, but Everett makes me want to open all my veins, and I was born in Lynn. . . near Union St, so that's saying something. It really is saddening. With the foreclosures and short sales, a lot of people are stuck. Glad you got out. I was in "Cambriville", Camb/Somerville line, now I'm in Ball Square. 5 years in town. Prior 30-ish years, West Peabody, Wakefield, Salem. Enjoy the silence, you'll be back:D
