**that's where you are wrong - Virginia is infinitely cheaper to live in then NY
**
**the house I bought was over $235,000 less then the same size house I was going to downsize to in NY
**the taxes are $800 a year - the taxes on the house I was going to downsize to in NY were $8000 a year
**gas is cheaper
**pretty much everything else I priced out with the exception of food was also significantly cheaper then NY
**
**Regarding my miss list:
**their pizza sucks
**their bagels suck
**I drove the entire length of Route 13 (the main route) on the Delmarva Peninsula up & into Maryland & did not see a single car wash & I was looking as the car was filthy
**I tried two Italian restaurants that the locals suggested & recommended as being excellent - they sucked. Well to be fair - none of them were from NY or NJ. I cook better Italian.
**
**When talking to several transplanted New Yorkers & Jersey locals they had the same thing - pizza, bagels & Italian suck. They also lamented the lack of a good car wash. I was also told to learn to live without a dry cleaner.

**Get out of the Bunker much these days?

* Explain to me how someone can screw up a freaking bagel, for crying out loud..

don't use NY water for one thing - there is only one decent bagel place near my mother in Florida that does it right - trucks in NY water in 55 gallon drums several times a week
the second way is to bake them instead of "kettling" them - this involves boiling rather then baking - crisps the outside leaving the inside soft & moist..........
I see I'm going to have to send you a dozen or so at some point.Followup Messages:
