****they have all those things everywhere you go in this country
****and yes it is the same as NY according to the NY transplants here - down here, they even bring in the water and ingredients directly from NY
****
****VA is not much less expensive and not much safer than NY

***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.
And now if you would be kind enough to enlighten someone whose only trip to NYC was 40 years ago, what is so damn special about NY water?Followup Messages:
