Life What am I thinking...? - Page 7

MikeMaslowski · 05:27 PM

Update- 04 Jan 09

Well, had a rough last couple of months with the ole lady. Was browsing on her computer and noticed she was looking for apartments....nowhere near where we've been planning on going. The writing was always on the wall but this is the closer. We haven't spoken in 3 days, but I'm sure when we do it will be the goodbye talk. I will still be coming to KC and look forward to tailgaiting with yall!

I think OP is going to be the place I settle due to the proximity of my school. Twenty-six year old college kid, should be fun!

=========================

I get out of the good ole Army in 2 years and have convinced my wife that we need to move to KC. 1. Who moves to a city due to their love of a football team? 2. What are the decent neigborhoods/surrounding towns?

3. Is it a nice place to live or should I say **** it and go back to South Dakota?

Look forward to all of your insights....

*****Edit*****

Ok, I've made the decision to move to the Kansas City, Kansas area. My wife will arrive there in June '10 and I will be there in November '10. I will be attending Cleveland Chiropractic College and my wife will be working on Ft. Leavenworth for the base Morale Welfare and Recreation department. I need to purchase a place happily in the middle of the two by taking I70(unless you guys know a quicker way). The cities that I see on the map that fit that description are, Lansing, Bonner Springs, Fairmont, Wallula and Basehor with a few others. Are those ok areas? Are there better places around that with traffic reduces travel times? Im trying to keep my wifes travel time down to a max of 30 minutes and mine to 45. (Oh yeah, we have two children 9 and 7 so the schools are important as well.

And yes, I am moving to Kansas City to be close to the Chiefs. I do not know anyone who lives there and have only been there a few times. Fortunately, I can also make a bunch of other things fall into place. The new GI Bill is going to allow me to go to school and pay for my house. Anyway, the wife wants me to bbq some ribs now so who am I to argue.

I appreciate any advice and look forward to becoming a local

4.) I prefer country life, wife prefers city...seemed like an ok mix.
5.) And...as mentioned, a nice short drive to Arrowhead.

And after I start getting called Dr. Mikemaslowski I can always move to paradise....

I use to go to baseball tournaments out in Basehor. Bumfuk egypt out there. Good luck.

Well, the Army moved me back home and I decided to work it out with my wife. The four places in KC that I found with the top 10 percent of public schools within my possible living areas are:

Shawnee
Lawrence
Olathe
and Overland Park

What are your opinions of these areas... I know OP has a pretty good rep.

San Diego. Perfect weather, everything you could want to do and there are like 16 military installations in the county that youre wife could work at. Plus its an AFC west city as Rainmain stated. Plus UCSD is one of the top rated schools for medical in the country. IIRC it was like number 3.
