I grew up in Coon Rapids, and Forest Lake (Born in Cloquet).

I'll be back there in June for some fishing wit da father who still resides in Hugo.

My roommate at Adrian College grew up near Oneka Lake(?), and was always talking about "the fishing on that lake".

If you want slower and laid back, IN might be just what you're looking for. Probably also obscenely cheap compared to the left coast.

I lived in the mountains here for years. I have seen and driven in plenty of snow. I don't go to the beach much any more, and California is turning into a giant traffic jam.

Key word is bold above. Which equals "beauty". Indiana is flatter than a 90 year old ho and "beauty" lasts for 2 weeks in the midwest, during the fall colors.

True.

Just as a comparison if you make an income of $50,000 near LA/Longbeach area in CA, you can live the same lifestyle with an equivalent income of $29,889.50. You can take a 40.22% decrease and still maintain your standard of living.

However, if Midnight moved to Indiana, he might start leaning right and join the NRA

Elkhart and the surrounding area is very pretty in the Summer time. It has nice farm land, lots of trees, some very nice people, including the Amish and their buggy's on the roadway. Most definitely a change in lifestyle from where you are now MT. On one hand it's the center of the RV world with multiple factories and related business's surrounding it. If RV's suddenly lost market share, I'm sure Elkhart and the area would dry up and blow away. There are some other industry related to the automotive sector but with all the cutbacks going on I don't know if that will be a good job security market

It is in the immediate area for that thing called lake effect snow. The winter is very cold and long. Look at the weather there for the last couple weeks. If this is OK with you the move might be very pleasant.

FWIW I've been there 3 times and it was one of the places that seemed to go out of their way to make us feel at home. I enjoy being there, but ONLY in the Summer.
