Moving always causes anxiety, so that is normal. But how far up town are you moving? When Dave and I visit we use to stay at the Excelsior by the MONH, and we'd walk to Time Squarefrom there most of the time.

Honey, back in November I moved from Florida to DC to an apartment I had never seen, to a job I wasn't even sure existed and to a city where I knew nobody. You want to talk about moving anxiety??? lol
It'll be fine. Just keep saying "I'm saving a ton of money. I'm saving a ton of money"

Okay....
You can rent rooms in Harlem for like $80-100 a week.
I don't know how 'safe' it is, but I know a lot of people who do it.
Personally, I'm content in my location (I'm near Lincoln Center)... I know you can get much bigger places for cheaper up in Washington Heights, etc., but for me it just seems too far away. I have to be in the midst of it all.
Don't worry about the anxiety... that's totally normal. I know a lot of people who live up there (assuming thats where you are... because if you're near me and referring to that as uptown... trust me... I walk to times square ALL the time)... it's a nice area. You made a good decision... and remember... nothing lasts forever. It's only for now. :)

Yeah, that is a way. In good weather it will be fine but come winter, or rainy days that would be a bit far to walk.

Once you move and settle in, you will be fine. If not, you can move again. :)

Posted: 6/1/04 at 10:12amA couple of years ago I temporarily (6 months) lived at 109th and Central Park West. Whenever I left the apartment to go to work, I'd say to my roomie "I'm heading into town now"...he always laughed - but it felt so far away. The commute isn't bad at all on the B,C lines...maybe 20 minutes. I just moved back to Hell's kitchen (48th and 9th) over the weekend and it took me 15 minutes total to walk to work - gotta Love that!
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
