[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left DC about 15 years ago for the north shore of Chicago. Our children graduated from great public schools, we are an easy walk to Lake Michigan, Midwest values really exist, Chicago is a great city (ex the high crime areas) and [b]except for the longer winters it has been ideal for us[/b]. When my husbands DC based company wanted him to return to DC with a big promotion we both said we are not going back. He quickly got a great new job and life went on. If you grew up in DC maybe it’s home but it was never home for us. We did make some good friends we stay in touch with but we don’t miss DC. So many DC jobs feed off the government that infects the atmosphere in a not so positive way. [/quote]

I have always imagined Ohio being a place I wouldn’t mind to live so I see no problem with OP thinking it could be a good place to live—but if you are actually considering it I think you also need to really consider the different climate. Whenever I talk to people who’ve moved around the country to end up near me—weather is always a big thing that gets brought up. And  when people end up moving away it’s often because they just can’t handle the weather/particular season/climate of their new home.[/quote]
