You can retire to New York City where...

Pennsylvania
1. You could take a color photo of each of the small towns in Pa and they would still come out black and white.
2. The small towns that you just took photos of are each referred to as “the city”.
3. People 50 miles outside the radius of either Philly or Pittsburgh speak with a southern accent.
4. I still don’t know what “youons” means.
5. When you go to a diner in Pa, it doesn’t matter if the food is any good.  Just so there’s a lot of it.
6. Everybody thinks that the hills representing the Poconos are mountains.

in all fairness, the confusion over the Poconos is that most of the area is a plateau, not several separate mountains. with luck you end up in a spot with a broad vista east towards NY and NJ, or NW towards Scranton, and realize you are looking out and down a considerable distance.

every restaurant has either lobstah, oyster, or clam in their name, usually with "shack" at the end

everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, or a Whalhburg

in the winter, every street either has a car buried in 2 feet of snow, a traffic cone, or a beach chair

you never know when a Big Dig tunnel will collapse

when visitors come, there's always some "famous trail" they gotta try

..... and live in Florida.  But I bought an Airstream so I can experience retired life in all those environs!

I had a niece who moved there after a divorce about 10 years ago, but she returned to her native Bay Area of California after a few years.   When I asked why, she said the cost of living in CR was too hight.

A really clever and funny post

Although I have several years (19 years) till I retire (And yes that makes me 46). I figure that once I retire (I could re-evaluate my finances (What I have in my bank & What I will be getting per month in retirement pay) and either travel or just stay where I am.

California City, CA

Reasonable & on 90 minutes to LA, and 3 hour drive to LV.

Your welcome.

Laughed until I cried!  Thanks! xoxKay

Seriously, I tired to retire to Florida but have decided to move back north to be near family.  That's more important than weather or traffic to me.  My only issue is taxes!
