Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. Up there is just a different feel though. I like deep woods, smell of wood burning, long and deep snowpacks.
I'm "citied" out from the snow. It's just such a pain in the azz here at this point. 2015 was fun but that broke my back.
Between the MBTA, traffic, shoveling... I would do it again in a heartbeat but I'd rather live in the interior, as long as I'm close to civilization.
Thank God I have two parking spots now, where I live.
