Community debate: moving the Flint Farmers' Market

Twelve Truisms about Moving
with gratitude to Sheldon Kopp’s Eschatological Laundry List

1.     Moving is hard

2.     It could have been done sooner

3.     Fear was part of it, from beginning to end

4.     Habit is comforting

5.     After two months, new habits developed

6.     Friends who were against the move got used to it

7.     New friends appeared

8.     Some places I left did not improve

9.      Other places I left look better now

10.     Even moves not of my own choosing turned out well anyway

11.     All the consequences of either staying or moving could not be known in advance

12.     Over time, fewer people shared my nostalgia; some moved, others died.
