I moved down the the DC area 5 1/2 years ago and can’t wait to move back. There’s so much I miss, bagels, the shoreline, the diversity, 24 hour Greek diners, pizza and so on. Where I live there are no backroads which means no detours when there’s traffic. There’s no package stores, just stores owned by the state where there’s less of a selection and at higher prices. Everything here is new. All the restaurants are chains or look like them and the only places to shop are big box stores. Also, housing prices and taxes are much higher here than in CT. Thankfully, we still have a house up there and I have a job that makes it easy for me to visit as much as I’d like
