Move from Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY to Montclair, NJ

Mark and Wendy moved from their urban brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn to a beautiful spacious house they bought in suburban Montclair, New Jersey today. At the last minute U-Haul screwed them (surprise, surprise: U-Haul Boycott Site) and they had to hire movers. It actually was less expensive than it seems like it would be, given they only gave the movers 4 hour notice to get there, and lucky us, we then barely had to lift a finger! Montclair reminds me of home in a way. All the houses are gorgeous, old and enormous and colonial and victorian style. There was a house I saw that looks almost exactly like my old (queen-anne style?) house on State St. in Appleton, WI. I think Montclair is a great place to settle down, raise a family and still be within reach of New York. Congratulations and good luck, Mark & Wendy! I had fun hanging out and (not) helping you move today! When the stress of The City gets me you know where I’ll be heading. Oh, and I can’t wait for the first barbecue this spring!
