flea-having a wood-burning fireplace in my house
-my work friends
-my non-work friends
-a bus to take me the two miles to work (I like walking, but 2 miles is 30 minutes!)
-the Farmer's Market (Athens has one, but it does not compare)
-Elmo's (we haven't found a restaurant where I can take the kids and actually relax during the meal)
-Whole Foods (Athens has an Earth Fare, but it is a drive)
-the vigorous civic activity (my craxy neighborhood list-serv, Bull City Rising, downtown development)
Things Athens has over Durham:
-music scene, which would be nice if I was musical, and to the limited extent that I am musical, I don't like hipster rock or old time/bluegrass
I guess I am Slow To Adapt To Change. It's been less than 5 months. We have some great neighbors and great other parents at school. The kids seem settled and happy. I miss Durham, though.
