Part one in a series
1. There are no boring barbershops/hair places. The biggest chain is Rudy’s. They’re super-punk rock. Their haircuts are cheap. A buzz cut, their specialty, is $10. And, according to Brian, they have Playboy in the waiting area.
2. Coffee. It’s fantastic. People drink it all the time. It’s not a myth. There’s an unlimited amount of small coffee shops with cool chairs, great music and internet access. There are no less than three espresso shops within 3 blocks of our house.
3. Everyone else dresses way hipper than you do. That includes you, Cat. Even my most stylish outfit is bland. The style is more artsy-punk than NYC style. I think it’s mainly because no one knows what business casual is here. Unless you’re going to a job interview or court, there’s no reason to wear a suit or slacks. Almost everyone wears sensible footwear. I blame the hills and the rain.
4. People cannot drive well. On the highways people drive either 40 mph or 60 mph, nothing in between. And no one knows how to merge at high speeds. Ugh.
5. There’s no state income tax. But the sales tax is about 9%.
