What has changed the most since you moved here?

   Been here long enough to have a before and after opinion on most things. The thing that surprised me is not the growth itself, everybody saw that coming, it is how much the everyday routine changed. Errands that used to be a fifteen minute round trip take real planning now. Curious whether people who arrived more recently even notice, or if this is just what it has always looked like to you.

   Retired. Walking the paths since the paths were dirt.

   I notice it most on weekends. Weekday middle of the day still feels close to what it was. Saturday is a different town.

   2004 transplant. Still call it Randalls.

   Reading this as somebody who has not moved in yet and it is honestly reassuring. Every place I have lived had the same conversation going.

   New here, be nice

   It is not the same conversation everywhere though. Some places grow and the roads grow with them. That is the part people here are actually complaining about.

   45 South at 6:10am. Every day. Pray for me.

   Fair. I was not trying to make it a road thread but that is where it always ends up.

   It ends up there because roads and taxes are the two things people actually feel. Everything else is preference.

   The other change nobody mentions is how many people are out walking in the evenings now compared to when we got here. That one I like.

   If it opened on Market Street, I've been.
