>I can't decide. I am stuck between staying here in Denver (aurora) and
>going to Philadelphia (Glenside, near Jenkintown)
>
>So - I'm gonna list out pros and Cons, and see what you guys think.
>
>Philadelphia...
>GOOD - new job opportunities, less crowded (yep), more small
>businesses (that I can design websites for!) Less walmarts. I can live
>in an apartment in my Grandpa's house for free till we get jobs and
>can pay really low rent (like $2-300). His house is old (1885) and has
>lots of neat projects I can do. It's also right next to a train
>station.
>
>BAD - I will have to replace some stuff on my car to make it pass
>inspection, insurance will go way up, new license, new all that crap.
>I'll have to get new windshields for both the scirocco and the Santa
>Fe. The big bad thing is that it will cost $280 in gas alone to get
>the Scirocco and the Santa Fe there. Also - I will have to get rid of
>one of my sciroccos. and leave my parrents and my wife's mom behind.
>
>Denver:
>GOOD: we live for free here - we give my mother in law $200 a month
>when we can. I can find work easy as a car salesman. I have all my VWs
>around, and I know where the good salvage yards are. That's pretty
>much it though.
>
>BAD: Denver is crowded and filled with crime and it sucks. We live
>right next to I-225 and it is LOUD!! Did I mention the crime. Also -
>Jenny has been looking for a job here for more than a year, and she's
>struck out so far.
>
>So - that's it. I have almost no money - but enough to get to
>Philadelphia. Either place I go - I can easily get a job at whatever
>car dealer. I would have more good stuff to do in phila though. I
>could also go to college for stuff that I really want to - when I
>started out of high school - I wanted to be an architect.
>
>If I stayed in Denver - I would get a job as apartment maintence. Fix
>toilets and such. Payoff some school bills and finish my crappy
>managment degree at DeVry.
>
>If this goes in favor of philly - I gotta see how close the nearest
>good pick'npull is for Scirocco parts!
>
>Wow - that's a lot of crap to read there.
>
>tl;dr option: Stay in crappy denver or go get a better life in philly?
>
>I cross posted this on the Vortex -
>http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2366530 it has a poll there
>too.
