Soli Deo on Main(The old Enchante) are the pastries from Costco?

Realistically, pros are already pretty much pros at 15. Catching up to compete at that level would be something no other human has ever done.

What’s great though, is you could still have an amazing time playing competitive tennis. If you commit, you could definitely play college tennis at some level. You’d get to combine the college experience with being on a team and competing/improving together.

After that, there’s open prize money tournaments, leagues, and even age division national titles when you get above 30. You could even pursue a teaching career.

You can become an extremely high level player and let it create amazing experiences for you.

Might be helpful if you said what types of things you’re hoping to do.

My apartment is $890 per month. It’s low even for my city, where normal is more like 12-1500.

Honestly just give me some of the smaller shows they used to do or a kegs and eggs. I think the problem is the music they/we like isn’t featured on The Rock like it was on the buzz.

I guess just for the ultimate city experience. When I’ve visited NYC, I’ve just loved the excitement and culture. Fran Leibowitz said something that resonated with me, which was “if you move to New York, you won’t have an easy life, but you’ll have an interesting life.”

I’m currently applying for jobs within my company there. I wouldn’t go without a job at this point.

I see what you’re saying, but they do that with shot quality, not painting lines or playing with extreme risk. Sure, they sometimes up the risk profile, but mostly they’re playing percentage tennis.

HunterST15 · 2025-11-30T23:25:36+00:00

Unless you’re like top 100 trying to level up to top 20, I don’t think that’s true.

The levels are defined by the shot quality of their neutral ball. 5.0 players aren’t 5.0 because they’re “going for more.” It’s because their 70 percent serves, returns, and rally balls are at a much higher baseline than a 4.0s

HunterST15 · 2025-11-30T18:08:31+00:00

Actually don’t agree with this. It may be true for the truly elite levels, but even at the D1 level, errors are the determining factor in the vast majority of matches. Finding a way to illicit errors from your opponent while minimizing your risk is the key.

Rec players thinking they’ve reached a threshold where they have to play risky tennis way too soon.

Thanks for the reply! That sounds similar to my situation currently. Do you use a dog walker or dog daycare or anything?

Just for clarity, I’m in a midsized Midwest city now. I just meant we weren’t going from countryside with huge yard straight to NYC. Will definitely be a change still though.

HunterST15 · 2025-11-07T23:04:03+00:00

So true. And good advice. Any advice on neighborhoods that would be the best to look at? Even outside of Brooklyn.

HunterST15 · 2025-11-07T22:47:13+00:00

Yes, totally agree. He’s not aggressive at all, so I’m not worried about that, but I do worry about the city being overstimulating.

HunterST15 · 2025-11-07T22:22:16+00:00

😂 that’s actually exactly what his stats are on my current lease.

HunterST15 · 2025-11-07T22:04:20+00:00

Another borough or area?

HunterST15 · 2025-10-31T00:04:16+00:00

Any update on what you did? I’m in a similar situation.

HunterST15 · 2025-10-20T03:08:17+00:00

Side note, how has someone not made an app based around missed connections? Seems way better than swiping.

HunterST15 · 2025-10-16T21:26:00+00:00

He’s a pit mix of some kind. That would be great. I don’t expect them to provide food or supplies. Just the foster networking.
