Niles- What is IIRC and emissions testing?
How big are the bugs, really? Have you seen many spiders, and what kinds? (I really hate bugs, particuarly spiders)
Actually, I don't know which is worse- insects or rednecks. Do people there have southern accents?
Where are the immigrants from? Am I to expect lots of good Cuban resteraunts? Or Mexican, Jamaican, what? (thats excellent, cause I generally don't like American food too much, and BF &I were concerned about a potential lack of diversity in population and resteraunts).
We are an interracial, non-Christian couple. Will the locals burn crosses on our lawns?
It is real humid in DC too, and I love it! (while at PCS, the air in those damn mountains was so dry, I got headaches and nosebleeds every damn day, then got in trouble for "manipulating" (?) if I asked for Tylenol!)
Are there many young people there? What do you think of "southside"? There seems to be a lot of new housing coming up there.
I am so stoked to move there, really. I want to get out of the city and have a regular sized townhouse and no winter and be near the beach and get out of this way-too-trendy-overcrowded-overpriced-social-climbing-wish-they-were-new-york-and-trying-too-hard city, with all these idiots ("urbane", they like to call themselves) paying 500K for lofts w/ "exposed brick" and stainless steel. (okay, I have a loft w/exposed brick and stainless steel. But I'm ready to leave this ratrace and have a small yard of my own and some drywall) And with the money these fools will pay for my "exposed brick", I'll be living like royalty in Jacksonville. BTY, I really don't like NY too much either- had BF gotten position there, we would be fighting half the city for a shoebox rental unit. I am really too old for that.
Anything else you can tell me would be truly appreciated. Thanks!
