Buh-bye Brooklynian — Brooklynian

Buh-bye Brooklynian

All,

Well, after nearly 15 years in Brooklyn, and five years on Brooklynian and some 600 posts, I'm heading out of town for the forseeable future. I sold my coop yesterday, packed up my apartment and I'm off to the hinterlands of Western NY State to work with my hands rather than continuing a search for an office gig to dwell in the cubical-death of NYC office work.

Thanks to everyone on the boards for entertaining arguments, occasional useful information, a last-minute straw-boater lend, some happy hours and much support (mostly) during my stoop drinking legal case these past few years.

I'll follow from afar and may occasionally post, and dammit Brooklyn, I'll be back!

    Western New York State? Bring warm clothes!

    I grew up in Rochester... living is much easier there. Although some here would suggest that it is less rewarding, I would not.

    wait, wait, wait: board rules clearly state that no one of such long standing (or long stoop-sitting) is to leave town without a happy hour to mark the occasion. are you really trying to spit in the face of all that is holy by skirting that requirement?

    It still lacks a date and place. He could pass a baton ,or something, on to canyontothesky.

    Seriously, Coors Light is just wrong on so many levels.

    All the more reason to give that particular brand to someone who chooses the avatar "canyontothesky".

    ....beautiful country out there.

    See and I cannot wait for the day i can kiss this place goodbye (Brooklyn) for the last time. I have property upstate NY near the start of the Southern Tier and love it there. I will be heading south tho when i can finally escape Brooklyn
    You may be surprised tho im told that there is no work in the trades things are tighter than normal there
    I dont expect much of the rest of the state to be in better shape

    I wish you well! It is not easy to leave Brooklyn. Believe me, I know.
