Hopefully this makes sense as I've had a few beers while watching the game...
I've been thinking about moving for several months now, and it looks like my plan is going to involve moving to a pretty small town (population 10,000). I currently live in Chicago.
Have any of you ever moved from a large town to a small town? Was it hard to adjust? How did it go? Did you like the small town? Hate it? What made the move difficult? What was good about the move?
Also, my parents live here. I've never really been far away from them before (only as far as Iowa during college). How many of you live across the country from your parents? Was it hard to move far away from them? Were they angry at you for moving far away? Parents, how have you dealt with your children moving far away? I am anticipating that my parents will have a very hard time with me being far away, and would appreciate any words of wisdom to help me deal with this.
Thanks.
