[quote=Anonymous]PP here. Oh, and I forgot to mention that there are so many great things about being in the city. There is so much to do all the time, and it's easy to get to things. Everything is so close. Even five or ten minutes makes a difference when you are deciding whether or not to do something. My kids are involved in sports and arts activities, and all are very close to our house. We go out to eat a lot -- so many more restaurants here than in the burbs. There's a lot more energy here too, which has it's pros and cons. The pros are that I feel energized by being here, but the cons are that it can be tiring. Sometimes I really want to relax, but there's no way to do that in the city since you've got to be on your guard all the time, and on the move as well. So far, the plusses outweigh the minuses, but of course that could change in an instant. [/quote]
