It's not where I grew up.

I don't know if it's long term, but I don't necessarily consider it transitional either. I guess I'm just open the possibility of still moving elsewhere.

Where I live is important to me, I need a place that has both the economy to support the way I want to live and the culture to actually make me want to live there.

I feel like the older you are the more cemented you are into your city, though. From work, to friends to family, it's not easy to uproot everything. I've been here almost two years and still feel like I'm visiting.
