Hahahahaha how did you know I hate Italians? That's weird but yeah that sounds like a good time. The old fashioned in Madison has the best cheese curds and I know a bar near there that has a lot of great metal on the jukebox.
East is the beast. West is the best. Born in Philly. Fifteen years in Chicago. Bay Area resident pushing 23 years now. For sure saw my favorite Grateful Dead concerts in the East and Midwest.
I am third generation Cracker from North Florida, but got the hell out of dodge at 18 and moved to Wyoming (windy, god forsaken place with a few tiny towns full of shit kickers and cowboys separated by vast expanses of frozen high plains) for six years. Then moved to Missoula for a few years, with a three year detour in Vermont, and then here to Portland, where I have been for over 16 years. Been to all 50 states and can't imagine living anywhere else (except for maybe Missoula again or the San Juan Islands, but that will have to wait until retirement).
As a kid, whenever I looked at a map of the United States, I would wonder why the Midwest was not called the Mideast. Nowhere near the middle of the continent...
East Sa-eeed. Lived in NorCal a bit, been to all the lower 48. had many (if not most) friends move to the west. one thing ive learned is home is wherever you make it. Although the Candy Folder has me rethinking things
Heading back east soon the bay area is way overpriced these days in all area's worth living. To much rich versus poor here lately with inequality increasing and anger rising especially on the roadways. Cali is now the worst driver's in the country per US surveys!
One of my best friends here in Vermont is a guy who moved here from Santa Rosa about twenty five years ago to go to the New England Culinary Institute and stayed. He grew up in Santa Rosa and his parents and family still all live there. He's a great chef and has an amazing garden. He loves psychedelic music but hates the Grateful Dead.
thats likely true except for stuff like when he dipped into the folk catalog and bluegrass and maybe jazz. he/hunter/grisman folded in lots of American styles to make his originals but no doubt the psychedelic sound reflected nor cal. Beautiful pic. seems like lots of people here been all around this world. sup fog!
I have noticed that a lot of kids who are born and raised in Oregon want to move east, especially New York City. Many of the them end up doing just that, and many end up coming back after a few years.
Born & raised in the Chicago area (affectionately aka Chicagoland), widely traveled U.S., and moved west 18 years ago. I much prefer the west and the access it provides me to "more west" such as West Coast/Pacific, remote locations of nature, killer camping, generally more agreeable weather, less humidity, less allergy hassles, and more general 'live and let live' attitudes and cultures (mostly).
All that aside, however, I think the GD seemed more lit up and energized on the road, for better or worse.
It's also great living very close to such intense nature scapes and world class skiing while still having the comforts and conveniences of an international airport as well as urban life and culture without feeling trapped by any of it.
