Reminds me of the staff member in Lounge in FRA who motioned to me that I shouldn't make a fuss about the four legged visitor... and then when it disppeared out of sight (only to return a minute later to chase me out the lounge) she said all's well - it looks like it's gone.

[It's on top of a restaraunt or something like that.]

which reminds me of the time I was in a hotel lobby on a date and I noticed a 4 legged visitor skittering past, maybe 15 feet behind her, and slowly making its way closer to us. I was surprisingly (shockingly, actually) stoic and calm about the whole thing. And I still needed to keep a conversation going the whole time! As it started getting too close I decided it was time for us to get up and walk around ;)
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

I love doing stuff like this. If you lived close, I would do it for you or better yet just supervise.
This is really an easy project especially for the benefit you get out of it.
It is like the lighted map @Something Fishy made but 100 times easier.

Besides CLE, any communities within driving distance to NY that is so affordable and (preferably) has school choice?

Lakewood, Jackson, Howell, etc.

No school choice, but tuition is often cheaper than some communities that do have school choice.

For housing, you may only find affordable options in Jackson, Brick, or Howell.

The question was about CLE, so I was comparing it to there. I don't know the going rate for a decent house in CLE, but from what I've heard, I think there are houses to be bought in Jackson, Howell, and Brick that are in the same ballfield.

You can get one in the 2s or 3s still. And you can get free tuition depending on income.

So I'm not crazy. AFAIK no Lakewood suburb is in that range.
