Nope. Anything to avoid Kansas. :P We will be in STL in October for a wedding, so we're taking the northern route and detouring up to Cheesehead Land. Going to try and make an annual Busch trip starting next year when the Redbirds are great again. #MCGA

GRB isn't getting rid of me that easy, Freed (although probably won't be around much this month).

Same job, Michael. Been working from home for last 8 years, so I can live anywhere. I've got about 18 months to retirement and it's nice to be able to get the move done now.

Leroy, I'll be long gone before those damn condos are built. But you can always head east and we can catch a game or 2 at Fenway.

Mr Random here -this is podcast I heard about a secretive private hunting reserve in NH. Educate yourself Rad.

http://outsideinradio.org/shows/ep27
From my very first days as a reporter in New Hampshire, I started to hear about a place hidden up in the woods of New Hampshire. A place full of unfamiliar animals from other places, but fenced off from the rest of the state, and kept quiet. I never heard about it directly — it was always through a guy who knew a guy, who had been inside — but the more I heard about the place, the more unbelievable it seemed.

This massive, private park was called a “millionaires hunt club” and “the most exclusive game preserve in the United States” and yet there were many people I know who had lived their entire lives in this state, but had never heard of it. So what is the secret of what’s behind that 26-mile fence cutting through the woods of New Hampshire, and why do some people work so hard to keep it a mystery?

You mean like....when people pay to hunt elephants... or hunt lions, or leopards, or giraffes, or rhinos, but it's in an enclosed area so they're easy to catch. But they hunt people instead?

Good luck on the move...big trip. Just be careful when you travel through the great state of Ohio...the Buckeye fever can set in fast and you'll find yourself living off the coast of Lake Erie eating Netty's Famous Chili dogs.

As long as they don't use Cincinnati chili, I'd give them a try.

Wow, I wish you well on your move! It's great you'll be close to your kid.
You've already mentioned going to ballgames in those cities, but a visit to the MLB HOF in Cooperstown, also wouldn't seem like a bad trip.
I'm glad I did that once, & you must experience it.
I also enjoyed the NHL HOF in Toronto, which is an amazing city.
