Within driving distance of a former presidential candidate's childhood home (hopefully he doesn't ask for money again), in the great state that still won't apologize for its cheese.

I miss the Bay Area, but was pushed out via gentrification.
Call it Champaign-Urbana.
I am juuuust outside the MSA, without doxxing myself too badly.
Chicago is accessible, if I plan around a few hrs drive or an Amtrak that’s not crazy far.
We are collectively mostly left-leaning though the UIUC students prob skew that to some degree. We landed here because it was a reasonably affordable place, close enough to something else to be feasible for holidays, and also close enough to a major ish city that not WFH would be on the table, maybe.
Got here via south central PA, New England, and marrying a girl from Kettlecorn, KS who missed the flatlands.
I miss the mountains, but I’m also sane and honest with myself - the local bouldering place is as close as I’m getting to a mountain, at my age.
That makes me sad, having hiked up plenty of mountains back before I fell off the “fitness cliff”…
