I wouldn't prefer any of those either but those are the most common destinations.

Well, intermountain west cold isn’t the same as Louisiana cold, Midwest cold, or East coast cold. For some reason, meteorologists use humidity to calculate heat index, but don’t do the same for cold, only wind is used. The reality is that 50 degrees in Louisiana feels substantially colder than 30 degrees in a dryer climate. Out there, good sublayers make all the difference. In louisiana, the humidity makes it feel like you’re trudging through a fog of ice that permeates every fabric of your being.


100% truth. I have had friends from Colorado come to NOLA to visit for Mardi Gras when it was like 37 degrees... they were fricking miserable. Said it was the coldest shite they’d ever felt. That humid cold cuts right through your clothes and goes to the bones.

Job market in Couer is shitty, actually. I’ve been looking for a while. Couple years or more.

And close enough to home. It makes a lot of sense why people would move to those areas

Do you get studded tires? Is there a shop you recommend in the area?


I do, Check with Les Schwab there. They'll swap them out for free every 6 months if you get them there.

Not gonna sit here and say I know anything about that area, but sounds exciting. Big congrats.

Wanted to ask are you single or do you have a significant other/kids coming with you for this?

Just leaving LA is Houston. I’d say 3/4 of the people I went to college with live there now. You wouldn’t believe how many times I have been offered jobs there or been told to embrace the “big wide world outside Louisiana” as an excuse to move there. I swear, Houston is the goddamn worst because it’s basically exactly the same.

Second behind Houston is Dallas, then Atlanta, then Austin, then Nashville, and Tampa after that.

Leaving Louisiana and the south in general is Denver. A crazy number of friends I grew up with all live out that way now. Second to Denver is probably Chicago, then L.A., then New York.

Ew... liberal hell. Is getting rid of them how you keep sending national treasures like Senator Kennedy to DC to piss off the libtards?

Didn't realize Houston was a thing. Chain migration after Katrina?

You are leaving probably the worst shithole and headed to the nicest places left in the US. Winning.

Let me know if you have specific questions, esp about the silver valley.


Are the people nice?

Is their first question “ what church do you go to?” This happened when we moved to rural Alabama?

Of all of the Silver Valley towns, which one is the nicest?

Did you send your kids to public school in Kellogg?

Did you ever catch a Salmon run on the Coeur D Alene river?

Thanks!
