Well, lisah, I'd love it. But can you also get a set of nurses for Grace and jobs for me and K!
I'm going to say sure! I do have a bunch of nurse friends! see:
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Amy, with my previously mentioned caveats, that's very much like the place I'm seriously considering.
I like B'more's crazy neighborhoodiness a lot? And it is schizo, but in a defineable way? Seriously, there are houses a few blocks away that while nice in an aesthetic sense are a major NO in a reasonable 'hood sense. Baltimore is a city of neighborhoods, and god the residents love'em, and they can be really insular and protective. It is literally block by block in some places.

I wish Trader Joe's had online mail ordering. I just found out they have Tom Yum flavored cashews.

I like this a lot. I mean, I found NYC to be that way, to a lesser extent -- less in the neighbor*ly* way and more that neighborhoods had distinct personalities -- and I like the kind of city Baltimore is, in terms of living right *in* the city.
It's also pretty affordable, and not too far from my parents. But ... only affordable right now in the *one day, maybe* sense, and then schools would be an issue, too.

Amy, here's a recent love letter to Baltimore from somebody who feels about it much the same way I do:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shemar should call me. ijs.
If I could get him to, I would. There might just be a longer delay that with the Fillion.
Speaking of which, did you catch Castle?

Oh, Baby Shemar... it will all be OK. Seriously, seriously OK.

Schools are a HUGE issue. I wouldn't be so blase (hahaha- gasp) about buying if I had kids. Mind you, I grew up with neighborhood schools, not the weirdass testing/lottery/test-into schools thing that they do here. Fergawdsake, my neighborgirl goes to a magnet middle down on the harbor (Francis Scott Key) which is nowhere near us, and she takes public transit for over an hour to get to. The local HS and MS is shit. That's foreign to me. There were 3 HS plus the alternative and they were all good where I grew up.
