I moved down to Florida for a few years and then came back. I also can't stand the cold and the long, dark days. It's different down there though. I won't get into politics and all that, but there are some major ideological differences that I just didn't vibe with. The labor market was also abysmal.

I grew up in MA, but moved away after college. My parents are getting older now and starting to have some health problems and I'd like to be closer to them, but MA is completely unaffordable now. I honestly don't know how you're all surviving. A comparable townhouse to what I currently have costs more than double.

All great advice. Thank you!

I didn't think I had to go over the GW? Guess I better double check my directions.

Yeah I completely forgot about Halloween. We'll be in the theatre district, close to Times Square. Public transit is out of the question unfortunately. Our friend deals with mobility as well as respiratory issues so we're bringing along a wheelchair and his portable oxygen. Normally I would just drive into New Haven and take the train into Grand Central. I just feel like driving is more comfortable for everyone in this case. Public transit is hectic even for able bodied people. He's really been looking forward to this and he rarely gets out to events so we all just really want to ensure that it's enjoyable for him.

We'll be in the theatre district, somewhat close to Times Square. A few people are saying I can find cheaper parking, but I'm leery of street parking as I've been towed in NYC before. Not a fun experience at all and would be absolutely disastrous this time due to the limitations of one of my travel mates. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I agree with entering from Hudson Parkway. That looks easiest for this trip. Thank you!

Thank you. I had a parking garage in mind, but maybe I'll look around for something cheaper if there's time.
