Wanting to move back to London

did:plc:x4hjeav52cffdyac5p2ttkj6 · 2026-03-29T17:33:23.383Z

Oh, that? A seedy-ass little hookup joint called Back Streets, where I would go shoot pool with my queer friends, and my experience there as a willowy teenage twink with rock 'n roll hair gave me the tiniest taste of the icky shit a young woman endures when she's out at the bars.

Posts express a desire to move back to London, calling it "a fantastic city" with "interesting things to do, food to eat, friendly, funny people & amazing buildings"; replies include "Stay!" and "I dream of those houses by Kew Gardens."

"I knew that North Jersey was different when nobody NOT A SOUL would jump my car when I worked at Circuit City. My coworkers were like, "Damn that's crazy" & left. Back home, 3 cars would have stopped and might have tried taking me to a chicken spot."

Something interesting about how the children currently in school now will maybe look at this place the same way you did in a couple decades. Also, the brickwork is SUCH a vibe~

How wonderful! New York City is a great place to visit, but I couldn't stand all the crowds every day. I lived in Upstate New York, so I did get the chance to go to the city on several occasions. I love the theater district.
3/29/26, 08:02 PM
A similar thing has happened to me Brette! It is sad for us both isn't it! I would do anything to be living back in the city of Bath again but like you, I am completely priced out alas!

Hey, London, thank you for your support.
"i maintain, that everyone should absolve their cliches about portland being rainy. i wish i could say "it's coming down out there" because it doesn't. nary a downpour. just remember that for future city stereotypes in your head."

I went there once and everyone was trying to "keep it weird" all the time (by yelling at me for pumping my gas)

I’m in Chicago, where we had similar shit, and my friend who is an Irish Republican lawyer compared it to being in Northern Ireland during the troubles.

Lived there for 3.5 years, it's pretty awesome.

This is impressive and SO very cool! 🎯👏💯 Thank you, Seattle! You are an example to us all!

Having grown up and spent the first thirty years of my life in Seattle and Portland, it's been great seeing someone with such a thoughtful eye to the environment around them discover and appreciate that wonderful region.

An internet irritation: Local Newspapers that give no clue where the locality is. I click on a link to, for example, "The Springfield Gazette." Where is Springfield? I'm sure if I hunted through the site long enough I would find out what state it's in, but it takes effort.

I’ve lived in CA, LA, MS, & TX. Each state (and city) has its own pros & cons. I’ve heard it said, “If you don’t like where you are, move! You’re not a tree.” I wish it were that simple. Family, job, health, finances, etc often dictate where we live. Make the best of where you are. #NoPlaceLikeHome

A friend of mine posted pics & vids from a Dallas trip. They visited the balloon museum and Netflix House, none of which I knew existed, but I think some BTS members and ARMY might enjoy if they're there for a few days during concerts. I feel like I'm going to start searching for tickets again.🤦🏾‍♀️
