might move back to Ohio
-
if I may add a good word for the city of Norton Ohio. Conveniently located to route 76 east and west 77 north route 21 and around 10 miles from the somewhat upscale areas of Fair Lawn West Akron and Bath Township which have a few better restaurants.
Summit county taxes are somewhat better than Medina County, for what it's worth and Norton schools are very good, if not flashy.
Fairlawn or Bath themselves would be fine places to live.
From there you can easily get to Cleveland or its south west suburbs or 15 minutes to Medina.
of course one thing to be said for East Cleveland with your 200 K equity you could probably buy an entire city block...

You could live near Lebron. He lives in Bath. So did Mike Tyson.
200k could buy the ENTIRE city of East Cleveland

Both Cleveland Hts and Shaker Hts. were premier areas when I lived up that way....35 years ago. The big mansions are still there.
Why would those communities now be places to stay away from? Or is that just west side bias. Sorry, but, to me, the west side suburbs were no where near as interesting as the east side suburbs.
Shaker and Cleveland heights are right on the border of the hood. Lot has changed in 35 years.

They were on the border then too. I lived on N. Moreland, right at Shaker Square. In Cleveland proper. I had my car broken into.

I said this earlier, but the eastside suburbs have HORRIBLE traffic. Unless you get out east of I 271. But that's big money out there.
If you like hunting and fishing though, Medina county would be good. Taxes are way lower there. And there is still plenty of land to be had. Lorain county used to be like that, but it is getting over-developed rather quickly.

If LBC wanted to hunt near home, then neither Cuyahoga nor Summit County would suffice. Medina County is some areas would.
Wayne Co. would even be better. That is easily accessible from either Wadsworth or Norton.
Of course, for the fishing, the question is what kind of fishing LBC is interested in. Obviously if he wants to fish Lake Erie he could looke along the Lake communities east or west. If he wants pond or river fishing, I am not certain. He may be better off inland, in like Wayne or Portage Cos. Though is there good fishing along the Chagrin/Grand, Rocky Rivers?
The fishing rivers I have paid attention to lately are the likes of The Big Hole, Gallatin, Madison, Clark Fork.....but those are in Montana.

Tyson lived in Orwell OH, closer out toward Youngstown. I once went by where he lived.

It is against the law to discharge a firearm in Cuyahoga county, so no hunting there. Not sure about Summit county, but I know you can hunt in Medina county.

That's a good indication of how desperate the people are there. When you break into the Gippers car you have hit rock bottom.They were on the border then too. I lived on N. Moreland, right at Shaker Square. In Cleveland proper. I had my car broken into.

Never heard that, and since I live near there I thought I would have. Obviously he kept it low key.

Take a look at Perry. The high school is better than most colleges.

Well, with that one, you cannot say "Perry" without also saying "nuclear power plant".

I worked with a guy that lived in Perry. He had a nice house and some land. He had a ravine that went down to the lake. But the nuke plant was less then a mile from his house and you could see it from his back yard.
He once told me that living that close to the plant, he got free electricity. Not sure if that is true or not.

Been on Nuclear ships, and other then having webbed toes and 7 fingers, I'm fine.

I grew up in Perry, lived right on the cliffs of the lake.. My family was one of the last NOT bought out for the Nuclear plant.. Still have family and a ton of friends in the township. If I had children to raise again, I be happy to raise them there. Power plant or not..
My response I guess was from the heart.. One of my fondest memories in life was one cold snowy winter night in about 64 or 65 when I vacated my 2nd story bedroom with my German Shepherd and my bed blanket to camp out on a ground floor FLOOR register with constant heat to pitch a tent over it with my blanket over the floor register and my dog underneath the blanket while I watched it snow out the window until I was sure there would be no school the next day..
That was in the days of coal burning furnaces down in the basement. And someone,, had to go down there periodically 24 hrs a day and either pull coal for the furnace out of the coal bin off to the side of the furnace with a snow type shovel, or at least stoke the coals in the furnace.. Usually both.. As kids we did it in shifts....
That power plant is 33 miles east of Cleveland.. If it goes Fukashima,, or Chernobyl, all the way to Toledo and the encompassing radius is fucked including well into Canada.. Which probably includes probably about 85% of the forum membership..
There are currently 62 commercially operating nuclear power plants with 100 nuclear reactors in 31 states in the United States...
I'll take it over a coal furnace
I was going to post a quality of life index until I looked at it closely, and those of Cleveland area suburbs.... yikes!!!
I'm glad I live in the 34217
Perry is still a soft spot for me

I don't know. Cleveland southwest suburbs are pretty good for crime, schools, cost of living etc. I've lived all over the world and think its pretty good here. I like the four seasons. I wouldn't live in the city of Cleveland, but where I'm at now is good. I hated DC and its suburbs. San Diego was nice in spots, but very expensive and got sick of the same weather day after day. NY extremely expensive, crowded, etc. LA polluted shit hole. Never lived in FL though, but not crazy about the bugs, heat and humidity.

so does the whole state of California. there is no hunting season for wasteful liberals

Ive been in Painesville Twp for the past 20 years......at vrooman rd, right on the perry border......a wonderful area if you like nice people, GREAT schools, room to stretch your legs, low crime rates and green spaces instead of cars(40 minutes to downtown) .....I grew up in Cleveland Hts, when it was an award winning city, but found Painesville to be a better place to raise my kids....
And I just drive 45 miles east to get to my cabin in Ashtabula.....total seclusion, great hunting, great fishing.....doesn't get any better.
In re to the nuke plant.....when I got my first Nuclear Emergency Kit in the mail and then found out they had Nuclear emergency drills at my kids schools, it did freak me out.....but really....it's just one of a billion things that might kill me.....and if it blows, Im so close it will be quick and painless.....

lol. so move to close radius to ground zero.
