New Job + WTS House

I've accepted a position with General Dynamics Land Systems, and will soon be moving out of the middle of no where Indiana!

I've done the paperwork to sell my house, and must say, the look on the realtors face when I told him I was selling my house just 4 months after I bought it was priceless.

Now I've just got to head up to Detroit, and find myself a place to live. That'll be interesting, but hopefully it won't take me too long to find something. Right now, i don't know if I'm going to rent a place for a while, or see if I can find something to buy, but I doubt I'll find something in the price range I want that's not nearly condemed.

The sticker shock here is intensely awful. If our home in Francesville were here in Detroit, it'd probably be worth 2-3 times as much as we paid for it in Indiana. Going from a really nice house to one that is so-so is pretty tough. Hey, but if you end up wanting to rent, let us know maybe we can find a duplex or somethin.

I preferred the middle of nowhere, myself. I hate city living and the probability of actually having neighbors. Heh

I made the realty lady feel bad for me when I told her my house was 2000 sq feet. :P Wonder what she would have said if I had told her it was on a river....

I miss the city.
The parks and bike trails, restaurants, shopping, theaters(both movie and live), indoor soccer, hanging out on the plaza or in a barnes and noble on fri. night, smell of the folgers plant downtown, pro-sports, museums, just cruising downtown.
I would like the middle of nowhere probably a little more if it was wooded and hilly(unlike here), and it wasn't all private property, corn fields, and fences.
Ahh,
I miss the city.

Ya, cost of living in Detroit is a little high.
