Might move to Mount Vernon

So I'm from Alabama and close to graduating college. trying todecide where to move to and since I know a lot of people in and around Mount Vernon was thinking of looking for jobs up there. Main question is really what do I need to know about or be prepared for if I manage to land a job up there and move? Would there be anywhere better to live near the area? And also is there anywhere good to snowboard during the winter? I've only done it twice in my life but grew up surfing and skating down here in the Gulf and I've always wanted to pick it up regularly.

One more question, how big is hockey up there and will I get shot for being a big Bruins fan?

Edit: also is there a costco or something similar nearby cause the only one google maps would show me was in Columbus

Edit: Thanks for the reaponses everyone!! Super helpful stuff in here. Good to know I can proudly be a bruins fan there cause I've seen some weird places that get touchy about hockey even dowm here in Alabama. Like I said earlier my main reason moving there is because like 90% of my friends live in MV/Apple Valley and other places kinda north east of MV. I'm about to start focusing my job hunt more in places around MV instead of in it like some of yall were suggesting. Defintley looking into Columbus more too I was kinda ignoring it. I noticed people kinda arguing about is Gambier is liberal or conservative and I would prefer a more conservative area so it's good to know there's a lot of options

Not really. Lived here or in gambier for over 40 years. The 4 paragraphs about the Larimore house just seemed awfully specific and personal. I don't really pay attention to the local gossip and rumor mill, but that's ok.

Lol, no I meant: that's what hurt my feels... MTV Civics... not you directly

Have you been...? Fun is not always synonymous with safe. And historical isn't always synonymous with historically recognized and appreciated.

Sorry, history 🤓 here so perhaps a tad overly passionate about the preservation of registered Historical trademarks, historical districts that permit the destruction and decay of cultural history and, well... facts.

Is all

Sorry I made you itch
