riddle350 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've heard rent in Burlington is super expensive. Seattle's rad for the most part and there's less annoying people than Portland. Mike's right though, so many passive aggressive people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 So is this the Official Convince People Your Home Town Rawks thread? If Appleton of the Wisconsin is the awesomest of the awesome. It has both stuff and things. In all seriousness can we do this as a contest? How about an essay contest? Or how about hold a raffle and winner gets to choose where Controlthebleeding lives? I would so totally chip in $2 for a ticket. (I have no idea how I added a bulletpoint but yay for random bullet points) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 yeah, i don't need tickets. i have money set aside for that. i need a cozy place to work and live and start fresh. i also need a place with substantial bus/train transportation since i don't drive (eyesight is horrible).

henster311 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 boston is a small city, lots of public trans. when i lived there, i hated it, but now i miss it. texas is too big. i would live outside the city if i were to ever go back, and theres still public trans to the city, providence is kinda cool too...still close to boston, 30mins - 1hr trai ride and allston, is kinda like a smaller version of austin.

controlthebleeding Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah, Transportation is a big deal, because i have no vehicle, unless it's a small town where i can ride a bike to and from work. sean, austin is rad, but i've lived here off and on for the last 16 years. it changed in a way i really dont like. it's becoming way overcrowded, the rental properties are higher than the rate of pay is. not to mention, its becoming to hip for it's own good. Mind you, in texas, i wouldn't live anywhere else, but overall, i'm done with this state. But i will visit every year for chaos in tejas. can't miss that.

6heart6breaker6 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 IDK if Ann Arbor is what you think it is, it has a mega mall and the heart of U of M sports It's also been called the most liberal city in America. Very nice. Just might want to figure out where the college kids are and not live there. Ann Arbor is a whore. I've only been to Ann Arbor once, but I'll never go back to that place. Everyone here has said everything, but I would like to stress that most of the people I've met there are just terrible people. Now Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo would be good for you. I would say Chicago, but there's too many damn people here. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minneapolis does have pretty good public transportation now. And you could deffinatley ride your bike around. But half the city is filled with hipsters.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've heard nothing but great things about Minneapolis from a whole handful of people. Never considered living there myself but that is probably the place I've had most folks tell me to go. Decent design scene in that city.

Guest Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've lived in a couple different places in Michigan. Right now I live in what I believe was ranked the most dangerous city for women in the country. Wouldn't recommend. I hope to be out of the state in 5 years max.

You wait 5 years to leave a state if you're incarcerated. Otherwise, 5 months should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneatingcow Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Honestly Appleton WI might be a place you should think about moving to. The city is reasonably cheap to live in. Reasonably good bus system. If you live near College Ave you can bike or walk to almost anything you need. Slightly below average unemployment. Above and beyond that decent record store with a good selection of hardcore. As far as I know Punk House is still up and running and has shows that you would enjoy. 2 hours from Madison or Milwaukee. 4 Hours from Chicago. 6 from Minneapolis.

Appleton, Burlington, Paoli/King of Prussia (well i'm familiar with the area already), Minneapolis (since my family lives there), are exactly what i'm looking for. I might be hitting a lot of you up regarding info. Seattle is out of the question. way to far up north-west. the trip to FEST killed me last year when i was living in WA.
