Drastic Relocation

[Newfie]

Dan, to each his own and whatever you decide all the best to you.

As for me and my experiences, I grew up in a small rural community in Newfoundland, less than 1000 people. I finished college and went to an isolated town of 13,000 people in Labrador to serve my Apprenticeship at an iron mine. I stayed there for 6 more years after I got Journeyman status and then moved to Toronto area. I stayed there for 2-1/2 years and then moved to the community of 10,000 people where I currently live.

This place is the best of all worlds IMHO. I live in a fairly new subdivision and my back yard looks out over ~ 800 acres of farm land with trees beyond that, then more farm land. I live 20 minutes from WIndsor, Ontario, a city of about 250,000, and just across the river from that is Detroit, MI.

To sum it all up, I live in a small town between farm land and a big city, and less than 1/2 an hour from almost anything. If you can find something like this, my advice is to go for it.

Good luck.


Jim

Is that St. Johns?

I lived in Argentia, just curious.
