#relocation

My husband and I both grew up in the same small town in Southern Illinois. I distinctly remember visiting relatives in the Chicago suburbs and dreaming of when I could live somewhere with so much to see and do. Though I did enjoy my childhood, growing up in the country and spending hours outside, I craved something different for my own children.

When I moved to Portland, Maine, from Boston in 2003 with my boyfriend, Craig, it was a pit stop, not a home. I had no desire to lay down roots. From as far back as I could remember, my dream was to head out to Hollywood and make a name for myself in the film industry. I even attended graduate school and received an MA in television/video production from Emerson College.

Two months after moving to London, I received the offer I had always dreamed about: I would work in news publicity at the BBC. I couldn't believe my fortune. It was one of those "pinch me" moments that made all the sacrifices, visa paperwork, and career risks feel worth it. I had grown up watching the network from across the globe and imagined what it would be like to walk the halls of such a prestigious institution.

The market in Pompano Beach, which once boasted 250 businesses, closed its doors for good on June 1 to make room for warehouses. Many of the longtime vendors retired. But numerous entrepreneurs gritted their teeth and decided to start over in new locations, says Caryn Deri, who moved her store, JMC Hairwear, to a small strip mall in Lighthouse Point. "Everyone kind of just dispersed wherever they could find a decent rent and a place without a parking issue, you know?"

Instead, I was sitting in my Iowa City apartment scrolling on my phone. I passed a video of hundreds of people gathered in Memorial Union Terrace for live music, a photo of old friends clinking margaritas at a Mexican restaurant I used to love ... As I saw more posts from my community back in Madison, Wisconsin, I felt a pang - not of jealousy, but something closer to grief.

OpenAI executives are discussing a potential relocation out of California as increasing political resistance threatens the company's efforts to convert from nonprofit to for-profit status, according to The WSJ, though the company says it has no plans to leave. California's attorney general is investigating whether OpenAI's restructuring violates state charitable trust law, while a coalition of nonprofits, labor groups, philanthropies, and even rival Meta are pushing back against the conversion.

Moving cities was triggered by what was probably a quarter-life crisis. I was unhappy with work and relationships, and I started to seriously think about my direction. I also felt like my hometown, Brisbane, no longer aligned with my current interests and lifestyle preferences. Many of my friends were also going through significant life transitions, including moving to another city or country, changing careers, or starting families. For me, a new city offered opportunities and different experiences, which I was craving.

About a month later, Ben received a call from an old colleague about a work opportunity at a pizza-and-wine bar in Tylösand, a beach town on Sweden's west coast. As a chef, the experience sounded exciting to him, and we also saw this as our opportunity to try somewhere new. That's why, weeks later, we found ourselves vacuum-sealing most of our clothes, giving away what we didn't need, and subletting our apartment - not knowing how long we'd be abroad.

For most of my life, I've been chasing home and never really finding it. I'd look for it in my mom's childhood bedroom, her blue carpet holding my big dreams (and endless questions) as I spent summers with my grandparents and cousins. I'd look for it wherever my parents' jobs took them, always following a promotion or the promise of easier access to family.

Following many years living and operating a showroom in New York, artist and designer Rebecca Atwood relocated to Charleston, South Carolina-with her husband, Steve Bernstein, and young daughter-in August 2021.

The Kiruna Church and its belfry are being moved along a five-kilometre route east to a new city center as part of Kiruna's relocation due to mining threats.

When our buyers think of moving to South Carolina, they usually focus on one of three communities: Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia. However, there are various smaller towns and lesser-known cities to consider.

We're building an office, so I'm actually moving out there. There [are] a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here.
