chrros7 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Living out here in the suburbs just north of Columbus,OH right between 2 lakes. Shopping for boats and actually loving it out here. So nice getting away from all the nonsense of NJ/NY area. Very pleasantly surprised out here. It's only been 2 months but so far, so good. Oh, and hows this for a classy move? 2 free tickets to a BlueJackets game courtesy of the team. (I got the Vancouver game! "Hello again Mr. Tortorella, fancy meeting you here!) http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t596/chrros7/002_zps2463d212.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t596/chrros7/003_zps497781af.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Wow - that's class right there. Also - really fucking awesome. Go enjoy - and you can root for the Jackets, since they're basically the 2011 Rangers and they're sending you to a game against the Devils.

Phil Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You should get season tickets! It's like having half NYR season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You should get season tickets! It's like having half NYR season tickets. And they probably cost 1/8 of having half seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 And they probably cost 1/8 of having half seasons. I pay $2173 per ticket (41 games), comparable seat in Columbus $1699 (45 games) Oct. 12th they have a TEAM POST GAME AUTOGRAPH SESSION!!! Rangers would have an autograph session of Adam Graves, Brian Mullen, Rod Gilbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Jeff, my season tix cost me like 10k, lol.Definitely the last season for me. Which means they win the up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrros7 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 It just got a little sweeter too. I called today to get the seat assignments so I could buy 2 more tix for my daughters and they comped those 2 as well. He said the seats will be very good ones probably behind the vistors bench. 4 Free tix! Welcome to Columbus! (btw, he said Dubinsky is his favorite player on the team, and that there is going to be a big buzz when the Rangers and Nash come to town. Good hockey vibes around here.)

siddious Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm jealous. I need to get out of ny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myusername Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Got out of NY about 5 months ago too, to Florida. The only thing I really miss is my friends, food (pizza namely), and good coffee. Much more quiet and laid back here. No more disgusting MTA, overpriced everything and so on. I'm also way healthier here since I don't drink or smoke as much (less bars and you have to drive everywhere). Got into mountain biking and have since been exploring all the trails around here. The weather was crappy during most of the summer, but now I have about 6 months of sun and low to mid 80's during the day. That's not to say Florida doesn't have it's own issues, but overall it's been a nice change. NY is nice, but I urge everyone to go and visit as many states as you can or move for a little bit if you have the luxury. You'd be surprised how little you miss all the supposed good stuff about NY. It's mostly all excess anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Whenever I visit other states I think about how nice it is there and that I could live there. Then I think about what my life would be like day to day...No way. I'm an NYC guy. But when I retire a move to the woods, on a lake, or the beach, is likely.

But you "live" in Jersey now, in a pretty chill and pleasant suburb of NYC. I'm sure your social life/work (I'm guessing) is still revolved around NYC though. To me, if you are not residing in the 5 boroughs you are not living in NYC. With all that said, I think you are living in one of the best spots for the bests of all worlds. I'd gladly live in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that's true, but even when I lived in Brooklyn, I was a 25 minute drive to midtown. I'm still a 25 minute drive. And my area is a lot like a borough, not suburban at all. We walk everywhere. We do have to drive most places, but not like other areas in NJ. In fact, we chose the area we're in because it "felt" like another borough. But yea, technically I'm not in NYC, but my day to day life is no different than when I was. Easy transition for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like to rip on Jersey, but it has a lot to offer in the right place if you can handle the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to elaborate, even though I'm in a suburb, my life is a lot more similar to BK than if I moved to work in Charlotte, or Atlanta (two places where I had opportunities to go) or even Chicago, and had to live in those suburbs of those cities. Am I making sense? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I making sense? LOL. Yup. Ironically, my wife and I had the option when moving out of central PA to move into the Philly suburbs or near Rahway, NJ for her job. She preferred PA for family reasons and the more "non-urban influenced" suburban lifestyle PA offered outside of Philly. Had we wanted to be in the thick of things we would have been living in your general area right now. We'd probably be somewhat worse off financially due to cost of living too.

Myusername Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I couldn't disagree more. The simple fact that I would have to drive EVERYWHERE would be enough to madden me. I thought the same thing, but most states don't have the ridiculous traffic or drivers that NY does and driving is actually quite pleasant. Better seat than anything on the MTA, music blasting, AC/heat on... I'd honestly take my car 100 times out of 100 over the MTA right now. The only thing that sucks is it's not as nearly as cheap as getting a monthly metro card and you can't get blasted when going out drinking. But I think I'm past that point anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
