The city is nice, though horribly layed out it will take you time to figure out how to get around. The people are nice for the most part, plenty of crap to do during the summer though its kinda dead during the winter. Its a college town so when school is session there is a huge student population.
Its not a bad place live, just the bars shut down at 2 New Age Bane fucked around with this message on 04-03-2007 at 12:15 PM.

In Oklahoma it is illegal to buy or sell alcohol after 2AM. And the liquor stores all close at 9PM. Grocery stores only sell 3.2 beer or less.
What do two indians having sex in a canoe and Oklahoma beer have in common?
It's fucking near water.

Try Berlin sometime. The bars close when you leave, be that at 2 AM, 4 AM, or even 10 AM. It's great in the summertime, too, because you can hit up a bar at 9:30 PM while it's still light out, drink the entire night, leave at 4:30 AM, and it'll be light out again.

Heheh. Try 2 new wardrobes. Besides the heavy pack you'll need for the dead of winter there's also the horrible spring and fall rains that make it seem like Seattle at times. So you'll need rain gear and some lighter jackets for the cold of spring and fall. Yes there's actually 4 seasons in Wisconsin. (Unless you're coming to the far North of Wisconsin in which case there's really only 2 seasons.... Winter and Road Construction.

You do understand that those people with those accents are extreme cases and mainly from the coast.
Most strive not have such an accent since it is both offensive to the ears and most people hate the stigma associate with it.

Save up and get Bridgestone Blizzak tires for wintertime. They're well worth the money. You don't need to get something different to drive if you don't want to. Is what you need to learn is to counter-steer. The Pixar/Disney movie "Cars" explains counter-steering when Doc is trying to teach Lightning how to turn on dirt. You would use much the same principles when the ass end of your vehicle started to get away from you on snow and ice covered roads.

I do not miss it much.
The traffic thing is a bitch. If you're at all lucky you'll be able to get around via the T. Learn the T. Love the T. But do not LIVE in the T. Just wouldn't work out.
Avoid anything related to the Big Dig like the plague. Even if a chunk of ceiling doesn't drop out and squash your future bride, it's the perpetual plague of anyone living in or around Boston.
Enjoy all the academia around the colleges (Harvard and Boston U). There used to be about fifty bajillion bookstores catering to every conceivable interest nestled in every conceivable nook and cranny down in that college hive area. I remember going down there with my Dad when I was a kid and finding all sorts of weird treasures.
Make Way For Ducklings. Or the Bostonians will fucking LYNCH you.
