Why she's moving to Cleveland: part 1

Gail L Palmer held the title of Alaska Writer’s Guild Slam Champion (two years running) before moving back to the Lower 48 for the greatest reason of all… L-O-V-E

And where has she moved? To Cleveland! We'll be presenting her reasons for loving this choice over the next few days.

Reason 1:

Cost of Living

According to a variety of website calculators including Bankrate.com, the cost of living in Cleveland, Ohio is 23.86% less than my former home of Anchorage, Alaska. And it is between 25-59% less than many cities in New York and New Jersey. But I think the barista who recently moved there from NY, who now manages my soon to be local coffee shop, put it best… “You can live like a princess in Cleveland.”
