I always thought it was a beautiful place with the rivers, bridges, and old buildings.

I’m a trucker and I have to tell you it’s not my favorite place to navigate with a large vehicle.

The two places I’ve lived that I was thinking of are Boulder, CO. and Bloomington, IN. Boulder is now too expensive. When I lived there in the early 80’s it was dirt cheap and amazing.

Bloomington is a possibility but recently the housing market has become challenging.
