little bit out of the price range. i doubt i'll be able to make it happen. would love it, though. a flat over a coffee shop would make me the happiest. 

That place had a coffee shop just down the street if I remember correctly. I wouldn't like living over a restaurant or coffee shop. Too many people and I'd be worried the place would burn down because of somebody not paying attention in the kitchen.

i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something. 

life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 

Back in my 20s, I lived in a flat over a Hallmark store in downtown West Jefferson for about five years. It was some of the best times of my life. The only difficulty was that right outside my bedroom window was the town's massive fire siren.

It was good that I was the local newspaper editor and had to go out and cover house fires and whatnot, because when that siren fired up, it would just about blow me out of my bed and into the next room. Deafened, I might as well get dressed, grab a camera and follow the fire trucks as they'd roll out.

I grew up in upstate NY just south of Lake Ontario and moved back to Western NY just north of Niagara Falls for a few years as an adult. As a late teen I saw plenty of snow living in WV and I've seen some pretty damn impressive lake effect snow storms in New York State.  Once in a while I get nostalgic for a big snow fall - like maybe on Xmas eve.  The rest of the time - no thanks.  Been there done that and at my age am done with it.  Its pretty to see, no doubt, but too much work and the other bs that goes with it uglies up the picture for me.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
