Good morning Mr. Bear.
May I suggest the lovely and liberal land that is Vermont?
There are lots of things going for it.
Peaceful, rural little towns (can be depressing in winter, but so can AK!)
Very forward-thinking population
Close enough to Boston, Springfield MA, and Hartford CT that you can make an easy day trip of it when you start to feel too isolated
Close to Montreal too!
Interesting economic scene- although there's plenty of rural poverty like many rural areas, you will find on the whole a well-educated and interesting bunch of neighbors and interesting employment opportunities within driving distance.
UMass Amherst is a HUGE employer and is a reasonable commute from the southern end of I-91.
The microbrews are fabulous too by the way.
And you'd be my neighbor!
Yay!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . May relocate, need help Mrs. Bear and I are thinking about venturing out of the last frontier in about a year to take up residence in another den. We are looking at New Mexico, TX, but laws there are pretty harsh, down south, but same thing with laws and other than that our options and minds are open. We prefer a more rural scene, a place where we can pick up a couple acres for the kids and dogs to romp and ride. Tel me about the laws of your land and perhaps the economic scene. Adieu Rating: 5
