there is the off chance that casa del turner might possibly be relocating to elmira or the vicinity (or possibly closer to the ny^2 area). my wife has a bead on a job with the irs up there, and we're considering moving.
what's the area like? any great prog bands up there need a bass player?

Well not really....Elmira is still 4 1/2 hours away from me. Yes, I've been through there before, not much to say about it really....it's like most upstate NY towns I've been through: barren, very little to do, and the pizza absolutely SUCKS. |

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | Yeah, upstate NY is a little barren depending, but Elmira shouldn't be too bad. Beautiful country in those parts though.
Plus, you'll have nice summers and real winters

but being closer to ny is a definite plus (tied with toronto for being my favorite city).

| | | | I'm a bit south of Binghamton and don't know the Elmira scene well since I don't get up there often, but if you relocate, we've got to hang out. You may want to look in northern PA, taxes tend to be a bit lower there, and it's definitely a buyer's market. Some nice areas around Mansfield, and the music program at Mansfield U is top notch (I've got several former students in the vocal program there).

But hey, we got T.O. for a year! Just wait till you see his VH1 show...it'll give you a sense of how this town is full of podunks who dress up like popcorn and give the key to the city away to a guy who hasn't even played a down of football here. yep...

eh, if it does happen, i'll be closer to pittsburgh. as far as football is concerned, that's really the only city that's ever mattered to me since i was about 7.

I do like the southern tier and finger lakes area of NY, which is pretty much where Elmira is. If it wasn't for the kids still in school and the grandparents being close to us, I'd consider a move southward. |
