I'm curious if Matamoras is a good town to move to, which is right across from the NY border town of Port Jervis which has a train to NYC, which is still a 3hr ride but at least the option is there. Could walk right over the bridge and take the train.

it was nice part time .

but as we got closer to retirement and thought about retiring there we decided against it .

it lacked to much we would want once we were home every day retired .

so not for us.

we were more in a rural area which had no public transportation at all .

i wanted nothing to do with monroe county which is off route 80 .

we were north off route 84

No, it's on the Retirement Forum at least 1002 times. LOL

Let's stick with the Coop stories where you made a killing. That's a happy story.

Dear Mr. Retired,

I am happy to hear that you decided to Slow down and smell the coffee and $5 breakfast with bunnies hopping at your feet and sweet waft of perennials blowing softly in the breeze.

I think there are very few places that property taxes don't suck. I know of a couple. But, I don't want to live there. They were thinking of cutting seniors a break in my state as of a couple years ago; however, with the housing shortage perhaps the political winds have shifted too far on that issue. The theory was let's keep seniors in their own homes instead of needing to get them long term care, etc.

I like your Name.

LOL I feel like this is very normal amongst people who are older. Something about aging that makes one want to tell the same story over and over. My grandparents are the same lmao.

There are parts of Monroe County/The Poconos that do suck though, such as Tobyhanna. Scranton and Wilkes Barre have their fair share of crap areas too.

Mr. Retired should start a thread in the NEPA forum to document his life there.

Walkable,Bikeable,Dog friendly.
My dogs love it. Found a vet.
Deers,rabbits in my back yard.
Farms,farms,farms everywhere.
Meat is so fresh. Had a burger
at the local watering hole.
Flavor of a 5 star restaurant.
Fresh farm eggs 2 bucks.
Found a breakfast diner for
under 5 bucks includung tip.
Wow...........

Traffic ? Compared to NYC ?
To that I say.........No traffic.
So, so many roads to choose
to get to anywhere I want.

Local driving speeds vary 35,40,45,50 mph.
Love it.


Bus Service free to seniors. Haha.
Door to door if you carry a cane for a small fee.


Close to transportation,banking,shopping ,hospitals and houses of worship.
Neighbors picked up on my Brooklyn accent. " whatta hear whatta ya say.....Haha.
No...they did not put up for sale signs in front of their homes. Haha!

Folks my age? Friendly. God fearing Love America. Fit right in. Feels like I jumped back 60 years.

Internet speeds are fine.
Love my radio.
I can still pick up 1010 WINS and 77 WABC Woo Hoo!

Any Downsides ?

Local TV stations and Radio ......Music
Still playing decades old movies and songs.

Property taxes are the same but the homes are 1/4-1/2 the price.

I miss NYC terribly but not it's political atmosphere.


Checking out the local flyer........Perrenials on sale.
50% off..........Woo Hoo Gotta Run......................
Best of everything!
