When the kids were small, wife and mother in law would shop all day, I would take the kids to the usaf museum
I still live in Indiana, but was stationed in CA for 8 years. I could have lived out there with family if I wanted, had a good job opportunity and everything. No way in hell.
I missed the more earnest lifestyle from home, and of course the laws pertaining to guns, property, and vehicles are much better here for the individual. Plus the seasons, Christmas lights on palm trees is as fake and akward as the majority of people I met out there. Most the people I met who I befriended were transplants that ended up in CA like I had.
I'd like to add my experience was with so cal. The Northern folks were much more agreeable.

We moved here from South Florida about 9 months ago, you can order Lou Malnati's for delivery nationwide!
Living in Florida we missed the seasons.

Well to go the other way, as a life long Hoosier I miss the days when all of you that miss things from your old home were not here.
Please take Lou Malnati’s, Giordano’s, and all the rest and go back…
Lived in west Michigan as a kid. Woods in the backyard all the way down to the lake. Spring Lake, to be exact. Connected to the Big Lake in Grand Haven.
Salmon fishing, both lake and streams.
Rabbit hunting at my grandma's old farm.
The sucker run every spring.
Ice fishing.
More deer and public land than you can imagine.
Towering pines.
Trout streams everywhere.
Having my extended family around, but that turned out to be for the best.
I get to do some of these things as we have a cabin up by White Cloud, but I do miss the outdoors as a way of life rather than a visit

Well, that is rude and uncalled for. I am happy to be in Indiana and could never go back to Illinois with their escalating attack on the 2nd amendment, including bans of most common firearms. I moved to Indiana primary because of politics. Illinois has got even worse in the last 2 years and will continue to slide down the political drain in the future.
But each region of our great nation has things that are great about that region and things that people miss. Even states who have been absolutely ruined by the leftists like Illinois, California, New York & Hawaii have great things about them. (Not so sure about New Jersey though.
) It is no disrespect to your "new home" to still miss some things about your "old home"...True, I came about a year earlier in March of 2000 also from Illinois and would never go back. I have friends a from there also looking for a place to move to here in Indiana. Politics and knowing my conservative voting would never make any difference with the huge liberal block from Chicago and Cook county was a big part of the move. I welcome anyone who comes here and votes for the values that have made this a great state. Now as for those that come here to escape a liberal state and vote for what they left, a pox be on them. Jim.
So it is “rude“ for me to want the good things about my home before those from screwed up states moved here? I am basically saying the same thing you are, you are pining for what you miss from your old home, yours in another state, mine in the same state…Well, that is rude and uncalled for.

Remember when Bobby would work there in the afternoons? He would go straight from driving the garbage truck to making pizzas.
Pork Roll/Taylor Ham (your description will show if your from Northern NJ or Southern NJ, 2 completely different states), Tuna subs from a little local shop, and WAWA, but WAWA is on the way to Indiana this year or next. Your gonna be blown away by WAWA.
Other than that not a GD thing.......
My wife asked if I thought about going back to visit friends or her family, I said "No but ask me again in 10 years"....

Lobstah! Local history (think, “Cradle of Liberty”, ironically), the (ocean) beach, good bagels and summah vacations in the white mountains.
Mostly, I miss my family, but I can’t do the politics or the traffic…sorry, Mom.

I have lived a few other places: NC, AR, CA, WA
I miss fresh seafood, scuba diving, sailing, "real" snowboarding, a teriyaki shop in every town/suburb, elk hunting, not worrying about venomous spiders or snakes, bear hunting.
Even CA you could fish for free from a pier and I would often catch lobster. That's about all I miss from that state except the teriyaki and Mexican food, but those can be found in better states.
I can't think of a thing I miss from AR and plan to never set foot in that place again.
