NYC. Sometimes I feel that half the city is RUB. Everywhere you go someone is speaking Russian.

If you are going to go up to an observation deck, I would recommend the Top of the Rock (in Rockefeller Center) as opposed to the Empire State Building. Yes, it's a little lower, but there are numerou

We now live in New Jersey. Before then, Colorado.

How come you left Colorado? Just curious because I'm thinking of taking us to Denver.

Edit:

I realize if you read earlier i was talking about Boston Vs. Buffalo, but i've expanded our horizons to a few more places that we will decide together. So far on the list is: Burlington, VT - Portland, ME, Charleston, SC (spent my childhood days here), Virginia Beach, VA, and Denver, CO. Aye they are all kind of all over the map, but each place offers us something we are looking for.

Colorado, specifically the Denver-Boulder area, is a wonderful, pretty cosmopolitan place to live.

I am a research chemist and moved to Colorado to work in a green energy start-up. It failed. I was unemployed for a bit in 2010. Not pleasant. I got a job with another green energy start-up and, after a while, realized that I had seen the movie. So I got up and left in the middle and went to work for a real company with real customers serving real markets but, alas, not in the area (at this moment, working on it) of sustainability. After I left that second start-up, it also failed, so I my interior movie critic was right. But the move meant I had to leave Colorado.

If I found myself independently wealthy or something, I'd probably move back. Maybe it'll be a retirement location, though the wife urges us to retire in Russia and that has its attractions, too. There's just very little work in that state for a chemist and practically none for ones interested in the environment or sustainability.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

I'm living in Arlington, VA. Not that many Russians but there's sooo many in DC. Looks like we'll move to Houston soon.

Are you, guys, still in Arlington? It would be fun to meet up some time :)

we are in smaller town outside DC, Woodbridge VA. Interesting to find or neighbor was a Russian language instructor

You, guys seem to be relatively close too.

We live in Severn MD, which is about 15 min outside of Baltimore and 40 min from DC (if there is no traffic). I work in DC though, so I am always sort of close to VA.
