I love that site. You really get straight answers from folks who have or still do live in the area. For a short time it looked as if we might move to either Birmingham Al or Seattle WA. After a number of hours on these boards I would have felt very comfortable taking the leap as compared to moving blind. In the end, looks as though we are staying put for a while.
