    All the way up and down the West Coast, multiple times, over the course of more than 2 decades of being driving age… from Bellingham WA down to LA / San Diego… many, many places in between… also many places all the way out to South Dakota via I 90.

    If I gave you a full list, I’d have to rewrite Johnny Cash’s “I’ve been everywhere”… I’ve actually been to a good number of places in the original lyrics.

      The towns and cities around me in Massachusetts have quite a bit of restaurant outdoor seating on sections of sidewalk.

        Yeah, I’m in Jersey and it’s pretty easy to find places with outdoor seating. Got several in my small town.

        I will say that the feel is not quite the same as sitting somewhere in Paris, or Nice, or Aix. They angle all the chairs to face outward, I’ve noticed, and the tables are so often just tables for two. I’m sure I’m misremembering a bit, but the sentiment still stands, to me. The outdoor seating is almost geared toward sit here and look out, not at your tablemate, and do some people watching. I love it.

        Anywhere in MA I can rent a studio apt for ~$700 a month?

        Probably not lol, I’m on SSDI, but an actual proper city/town sounds great!
