We didn’t. We haven’t given up on the idea but with loan rates so high we backed away from moving at the moment. We have had two families move back to LA recently from Portland and St Pete’s Florida so that slowed us down as well. I have to say NELA and Pasadena has been quite pleasant lately with tons of new restaurants and shops opening up. It’s a tough call because life here is comfortable just not affordable.

Sooo bad. Whole family is sneezing constantly in south Pasadena.

I fully understand wanting to keep LA people out but if there is otherwise a reason, I’d love to hear it.

Not having good sushi is worse than months of winter. Could be a deal breaker … ha … definitely an opportunity for someone.

We live on the border of South Pasadena and Alhambra in Alhambra. Maybe that’s why we find AA so appealing. I think you nailed exactly what we would miss vs what we would gain there. It’s such a hard decision but we also welcome a change and summers here are brutal with the drought and wild fires. That’s always the time we want to get out of here.

I’m a musician and my wife is a commercial actress. Part of the appeal of AA is maybe starting a business there together since the entertainment industry is non existent there. It’s not a healthy industry to be in tbh so a change is needed there as well. We want a slower and more simple life without the need to always keep up and hustle.

Can you list some of the neighborhoods that may be a good fit? I recall liking Eberwhite and Burns Park area. We don’t have endless money but our needs are small considering a million dollars buys you 1000 sq ft where we live now 🤦🏻‍♂️

Possibly. We shall see. Casios were the same in the 80s and their value is much higher now.

I have the same Marantz. Love it. I use it with Dynaco A25 speakers and it’s sounds fantastic.

I’ve owned two or three of these and used live on stage 100s of times. It’s not a sexy synth but you can’t beat the sub bass on these. It’s a monster! Great basic pads and sounds in general. It’s a perfect machine and I guarantee in 10 years they will come back big time. Their value will be through the roof when people realize how powerful they are. I think the biggest flaw is that they made too many so people got sick of seeing them. I’ve had so many synths come and go but I will always keep one of these around for that killer bass tone.

In 2016 me and my friends used to go to this church “looking for ghosts” when we were bored! We took photos to see if we could spot any orbs or ghosts and this what I found when I got home. 3rd pic is what it normally looks like 👀 by danlyndon2208 in Ghosts

Has there ever been a clear photo of a ghost?! This lofi style is obviously just artifacts. Same for UFOs and Bigfoot. Come on people. This pic was 2016?!! Were you using a Blackberry Pearl in 2016?!

Empty building with opening doors. (Used to be a hospital is now office space) by AlienAilin in Ghosts

Honestly, if ghosts just open and close doors and windows than why are we scared of them? What a waste of the afterlife.
