It also confirms most of what my sister has told me about the upsides and downsides. The irony of the whole thing is that it's possible she and her husband will be leaving the area in about a year when his contract ends. THAT would make going there much less attractive, as I'd have very little in the way of a support system, other than two or three former classmates who also happen to live in the area. I've visited most of the areas you mention in the course of visiting my sister, so I have some degree of familiarity with the neighborhoods. She lives in Doroville, and takes the Metro into town for her job at Emory. I'm torn, too, because Mom is getting older, and this would mean her two girls are both far away from her in MA. I hate big decisions.
