Yeah, I think about moving back as a middle aged fulltime single parent… besides friends and family (which are major), there isn’t really a NYC around for me anymore.
All the weird shit is just branded hipster bullshit now. And I’m too old to linger over nyu students at legit art galleries.
I’m in SF (many years now) and coming up for air after the last few years looking for that kind of weird authenticity and it’s not here the same way either.
Well… Don’t worry too much. Money moves so that rich cities no longer are, the creatives move around so that centers of creativity aren’t (see Haight Ashbury), etc etc etc.
Look for a spot with friends that calls to you. I miss Washington heights, now that I live a little south of LA. Gonna try Seattle out next, just following where the work is and where the people are.
That said, I bet you’ll find something in NYC if you looked.
There’s some cool weird stuff in sf, what about Folsom street fair, there’s the DNA lounge with Davidson underground music, etc… Lots of kids in the mix, but it’s your life too, fuck it.
Speak for yourself, I’m wearing trifocals lmao

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. I’m really enjoying our blue bubble coast these days. And TBH, the further from DC, the better.
