I’ve lived all over the country, from Fairbanks, Alaska to North Carolina and Georgia in the south, to Syracuse in the northeast and here in the Chicago area for the past 30 years. Each region is different, from the weather, to the types of people, to the kinds of activities and hobbies they enjoy. In Chicago, we have a tremendous variety of services, activities and shopping, whereas in Fairbanks, Alaska, it was very limited. This kind of thing can make more of a difference than you think.
