A new version of the same old question

[urbpan]

What am I going to miss, when (if) I move to Portland from Boston? Bonus points for not saying anything about cold or snow or sports since I hate those things.

Actually, I've lived enough different places that I generally have a broadcaster's accent. To me the CT accent sounds halfway between NY and Boston. Mentally, I've always associated this accent with big cities, and it always amuses me to hear farmers and other small town residents talk the way they do here.

And moving as an adult is kind of like starting a new job - even if it's a great new job, you don't know where anything is and everything takes longer than it should and you make stupid mistakes. I find that transition period annoying and tiring. But it's exciting, too.
