Wawa, wegmans, a thanksgiving in November, Kohls, DSW Shoes, Target, five guys, cheaper stuff, being close to a bunch of cool cities, the longer yellow traffic lights (hehe), oh and my husband. :P

There's more but I am under pressure here.

Had to sneak in here, before reading on...

I just about died when Tim drove through the yellow, and I thought for sure it would be red before we got to the intersection. :o My heart was in my mouth! It didn't turn red until we were right underneath it.

Oh boy..he sure likes to take years off my life... :lol:

I am so thankful for the person who started this topic -- reading this certainly put a bright spot on my day and reminded me of what to look FORWARD to once this visa thing is done and over with!!!

Lets see --- I look forward to:

- cheaper food and groceries (although I must say more variety in TO)

- sales at Kohls!

- Spicy crispy beef -- there is this one Chinese restaurant off Laurel (MD) that cooks this and Ive never been able to find in in Toronto ever :P

- endless family gatherings (the hunny comes from a big clan so lots of weekend events!)

- no sales tax in the Delaware outlets

- the LOOONG Thanksgiving holiday :P

- and with that, Black Friday!

Now I remember why I said yes when the future husband proposed! :devil:

Finally married... and still married... ;)

REESES PIECES... also reese's peanut butter cups but to a lesser extent.

Also, sooooo much TV choice, although not loving the adverts. And also that everybody is so friendly. Well, that might just be where I live in NH but a lot more friendly than in the UK.

Yeah, the "no alcohol at grocery stores" thing confused me at first. It wasn't a big deal (I rarely drink), but I didn't see any harm in having it for sale at grocery stores.
