New Yorker is Memphis bound

[newyorker]

Ok, so I've been quiet for several months. But I have news...
I have a new job at a wonderful liberal arts college in Memphis as a Provost and Academic VP. Meanwhile, daughter has gotten into a great college here in the NE, so Mr. New Yorker and I will move, as empty nesters, to Memphis. We're so excited--and one big reason for our excitement is that SOWAL will now be a driveable distance again (and maybe even a proposition for a getaway long weekend). Moreover, we're moving south again and to a real city (upstate NY was fine in many ways, but urban it was not...and it lacked the civility of the south).

I could use some help from you Memphis folks on looking at housing etc. Could you PM me if you're willing to discuss areas of the city and real estate? thanks much.
New Yorker...but not much longer...

I have no info to share. But I do offer a hearty, Congratulations! Good luck on your new career and move. Most importantly back to the South!

back! Can't offer any advice...but how exciting for you!:clap_1: Good luck!

Good luck! The number of New Yorkers are dwindling! That's so exciting though. There will be less Sowallers in the Hamptons this year.

Congratulations, New Yorker. I have no information about Memphis either, but your life right now definitely is worthy of applause! :clap_1:

I'm from New England originally and I, too, find the south to be wonderful (though we now live in the midwest but eventually hope to spend more time in the south, say, in SoWal).

Welcome to the great state of Tennessee. You will enjoy Memphis. Is the college you will be working at Rhodes? Both of my girls looked there and it was a serious choice. Regardless, congrats on the new job. :clap_1: :clap_1:

welcome back to the south...you will have to change your user name to Memphisite ...wonderful that you will be closer to SoWal!!!!! Go on line and look up Memphis real estate!! I did alot of research before I moved to Columbia SC..I knew more about the real estate market than most of the realtors...I knew exactly where I wanted to look

Best wishes on your new opportunity AND move! Any move in a southerly direction is a good move.;-) Don't forget to say "y'all"- it is OK for Provosts to say that!

 

[Miss Kitty]

Yes, I was thinking it must be Rhodes!!! Congrats on your new experience!
