What constitutes affordable and what constitutes nice?
Let me put it this way... we were able to afford to buy a house back in 2017 by buying it in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Indiana. Do you call your wife mother?
Excuse me while I get all nice and comfortable in my Texas high seat.
I'm not bitter toward my ex-wife anymore except that time she made us move to Texas so we could afford a house. She's gone, house is gone, dogs are dead, kid is grown and gone, I'm still here.
Pardner, what you got there is the next big country hit.
Unfortunately, I don't own a pickup truck and don't much drink whiskey anymore. My jeans aren't even starched or pressed.
You're just adding more verses
It’s like that poster is the opposite of Steve Goodman
Assume I've never heard of Terra Haute before and that 30 seconds of Googling lead to very mixed answers
The fact he said Indiana tells you everything you need to know. It's the capital of "affordable and.. yeah that's all"
You could be in Gary, the houses there are under $10k and you only have a mild risk of being shot.
Yeah but it also smells like Gary, Indiana.
What do you have against the dispersed filthe of Chicago and structure fires?
Trust me, Terre Haute is worse than Gary.
At least you have the professors from Rose Hulman to hang out with. And some pretty old strippers, if my brother's college stories are true.
They're all on the east side of town near Rose and we're on the south side, so unfortunately I don't get to hang out with them.
Wouldn't know about the strippers. I'm not even sure where any strip clubs are. I assume there are at least one or two.
