    We had some Mag here and his model girlfriend ski that front lawn of the NYYC and post a TR about it. Wonder what happened to that guy.

    BWAH.

    Have you posted that in the Crypto thread yet?

    Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't post this while we're on the topic of Rhode Island.

    Jeezus.
    Why does this shit always happen to me? It shoulda been on the last boat which was direct to NJ. If it reeks of pussy and rosso vino there's gonna be words.

    Just hope your buddy doesn't send you a picture of a box with an Alfa logo taped on it haphazardly.

    Jerry Tillinghast died, so hopefully they’re still in some disarray and the car will get through unnoticed.

    I’ve spent some time at the Air Force base in Halifax across the road from that car port. It’s technically not in Halifax but in Dartmouth - which, while it is slowly gentrifying, is still the wrong side of the city for fancy rides like yours.

    Is Dartmouth affordable? Thing#1'is probably going to relocate to NS.

    It’s gonna be a miracle if it gets here in one piece.

    Yeah relative to other North American cities I would guess so (but my time there was long ago). The Halifax side of the city is more fun/attractive than Dartmouth side - especially when young.

    And Halifax (and area) is a lot better than Fredericton is as a city. A lot. I’ve spent lots of time at UNB so I’m familiar with both cities.

    I’m sure the car will be fine going through there.

    Thing #1 is still at UNB. Has the undergrad t-shirt. Working on a BaEd (because that's how it works up there I guess). Wants to GTFO of NB. Friends are all moving on. The bestie is moving to Ottawa. It didn't help that COVID meant coming home to the US and doing the remainder of 3rd year and all of 4th year remote. Finding somewhere affordable to settle is a universal struggle.

    My votes (for places somewhat near to you) would be look at Halifax or Kingston Ontario. Both great places to live with lots to do. Both are university cities. Kingston is a short trip away from Ottawa, Montreal, or Toronto (car, bus, train, plane). Renting should be “affordable” in both places. Buying in Canada is a gong show - you’d have to look at less desirable places (ie NB) to find something that could be described as affordable (when compared to cost of living and likely salaries of that area). PM me if you need advice on any of these places.

    Also I just got a line on a brand new Italian SUV that I can sell your kid for cheap if she decides to live in Dartmouth. Cash only sale. Or Bitcoin.

    The kid isn't thrilled about Ontario. My wife and I would be happy with Ottawa or Kingston in terms of driving. Halifax is 12-13 hrs from here. Fredericton is bad enough. I don't drive no fancy Eye-talian SUV.
    The new border rules are welcome. We still had to have PCR results when we visited in March.

    I thought Dartmouth was in NH?

    This? It's just a tarted up Audi Q8.

    Ontario is a massive place. Hard to write it all off point blank. A weekend in Kingston with her Ottawa friend might seal the deal.

    But Halifax is great. Just a lot further. Consider getting one of the aforementioned fast and luxurious SUVs if you’re gonna be driving the “airline” regularly.

    Gatineau has better rent and cell phone plans than Ottawa, if that’s a concern for the kid.

    Selling my Tacoma. Time for someone else to enjoy all those 13 miles per galllon.

    OMG, I spent 4 years in Kingston at Queens. GREAT school, absolute shit location. If the predominance of penitentiaries, the RCMP school, dismal lake effect snow, cold, ice etc, and constant nasty winds (see how all the trees grow at a 45 angle), shockingly bad food (worst pizza in the known universe) and other wonderful attributes don't stop you, who knows what will. I would love to know what "lots to do is in Kingston". Really.

    Don't do that to your kid - he will hate you forever. I told both my boys they'd never have to go to that shithole. And that's being as positive as I can. When there's Ottawa and Toronto so close, why on earth would anyone go to Kingston.

    The best thing about Kingston is the same as I feel about Houston - LEAVING

    Tell us how you really feel!



    I love Kingston as a small city. Lots of people do (and it’s the military university there - the RCMP police school is in Saskatchewan - but I get what you mean). Lots and lots of Queens alumni encourage their kids to go there.

    Not discounting your opinion though!

    Halifax is similar in a lot of the ways you didn’t like Kingston.

    Cha geill!

    I toured Queens with thing#2 and hated it. I could just imagine engineering students doing swan dives in the middle of winter off that multistory balcony/atrium in the library or whatever that building was. The whole place looked cold dark and depressing. No way was I sending my kid there. Even if he wanted to go.
