I've hit the one year mark for the northern experience. Some things I miss and don't miss with the move:
Miss:
Pizza. Besides friends and family (obviously), this is my only miss. I've tried every place in town up here and the outskirts but haven't found anything even close to Buddy's. I might bring a pack of half-baked back my next trip downstate.
Don't Miss:
Traffic. I grin each time when listening to downstate radio on the Internet and the traffic report comes on.
Local news. The local news up north may be a bit on the minor league quality but love the non-robot/human element and crop reports are more enjoyable than a murder on 7 Mile.
Pace. Everything is slow/quiet and everyone (for the most part) courteous up north. I know it has to do with the terrain and the minimal population but enjoy it versus the sounds of traffic or the poor yelping dog left outside too long by the over-served/chain smoking grandma-neighbor out back of me when I was downstate.
