Putting in my papers with the union and will look to see what the area has to offer. Taxes going up every year. HOA fees on the town home have doubled
in the last 3 years. Done and finished. Been quite a ride but got to go. Hope to be settled in by Christmas. lol

I'd move back to Long Island in a heartbeat if they had even an 1/8th mile dragstrip and the taxes were a little more down to earth. I grew up in West Islip after moving out from Brooklyn as a kid and love that area so much but a small 1,000 sq ft home is about 12,000 a year in prop taxes and I'm looking to do a semi retirement in 7 months when I turn 60 so it wouldn't be a wise choice. PA is a decent compromise if you can deal with the corruption and lack of the ocean. I'm in the process of buying a house in Elysburg which is the PA equivalent of West Islip minus the ocean and it's 11 miles from Numidia Dragway, 1.5 acres and 1,400 taxes for the year and just 200 miles from West Islip.

Cape May area ..We are looking.. Nice area low taxes...

I.E.> the Pre foreclosures are amazing, if one has prior approval and a quick DP cash...Just right for a couple of (active) folks that want to get Away from the NYC metro area. ..but choose Not (cant) be far from some family and the OCEAN .

OUR parish deacon moved to Charleston last Mont after fire selling his Morris cty house that was on the market for 8 months...I talked to Him last week ..So Carolina is just perfect. Just get used to full time AC !!

Try Pages Okra Grill in Mount Pleasant. Great food and good prices.It is maybe five minutes from the Yorktown Aircraft Carrier. The shrimp and grits are wicked. I ate there twice while in town and Will go back again. Don Jackson

Frank,
Beautiful area Charleston, lots of history there. However, very humid in the summertime but you'll get used to it. I moved to NC 15 years ago from NY and this is the land of several drag strips. I have 9 within 2 1/2 hrs of my home including VMP in Dinwiddie and Z-Max in Charlotte. You need to come check out one of our CCRA events in the fall after you get settled.

I assume you have taken care of several items including a Visa from the United Daughters of the Confederacy; also from United Southerners to Abolish Sherman; and have enrolled in the Proper use of Yall in the Southern Language. This will get you in, but be aware there might be some local regulations also. There are no Cajuns there, so a permit is not needed. Just trying to be helpful. I think you will love it. Have a few friends there.
