Please do not move to Baltimore.

Baltimore is actually pretty awesome if you ask me. Of course you gotta know where to go but....

In any case it's Minnesota

o'hare and midway airports (from where i can pretty much fly to anywhere in the world) are equidistant to where i live by about 8 miles in both directions. reading your post definitely reminds me of how much i take for granted living where i live.

Yea it's really gotten to me lately. This happens multiple times a year. So, you either lay the cost and fear for your life with that drive or become a hermit and never experience the outside world.

Traveling is a big deal for us and what should be a quick trip to see the family or explore a new city ends up costing double just by living so far from an airport and coordinating the drive with flight times on both ends of the trip

thats the one drawback from living where we do right now..Seatac is 2 hours away..Bellingham or Everett are an hour away which isn't bad but they dont always fly to where we want to go..I miss LAX being 10 minutes away but I dont miss LAX

Man, the weather can really throw a curveball sometimes! It's frustrating when travel plans get disrupted by snow, not to mention the extra expenses. But it's a reminder of the perks of living close to major airports, right? I totally get where you're coming from.
It's interesting how your location affects your travel options. Living near airports can be a game-changer. And speaking of location, if you ever need help managing properties, you might want to check out Kingston Property Management. They've got the lowdown on the real estate scene.

Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I'm just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills or whatever.

Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: “Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know; when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages.
