Tell me why I should and shouldn't move there!

It's a pretty small place.

This could go in either category depending on which kind of person you are.

Well, it's really fucking expensive... and a lot of the more pretentious DJ sorts from London all moved down a couple of years ago, right? Lots of joss sticks and tapestry stores...

Massive population of British crusty types, I've been told.

On the other hand, it's my favorite English city so far.

I realize that the plural of anecdote is not data, but every time I have been there the sun has been shining. My experiences with the rest of England did not mirror this. I had several lovely meals there, including at the Brighton Museum. Surprisingly nice and affordable lunch there.

Additionally, the best jukebox ever is in this pub.

I would have sat in there listening to the music that played on it until they threw me out, had not some fellow who had shat himself not sat down beside me.

If I was going to live in the UK, based on my limited experience so far, I'd move to Brighton.

I have good friends there and, y'know, Quadrophenia, all that...

I moved here.

I moved away.

I moved back again.

I like Brighton.

I heard it's full of benders and Nick Cave.


So that's at least two reasons to move there.

I lived there for a while. I loved it at the time because I was young and a lot of exciting music things were happening. I haven't been there recently so I don't really know what it's like any more.

It's a nice distance from London, which is a bonus. I idly contemplate moving back there eventually.

I'm from Brighton Park in Chicago. I wouldn't recommend it much.

Brighton is indeed in Britain.

I like Brighton, a lot, but I can't shake the feeling that it's simply Stoke Newington-on-Sea.


Someone tell me I'm wrong.

Someone tell me I'm wrong.

You're wrong.*





















*I don't really know if you're wrong because I don't know what you just said means. I've been to Brighton once and it ruled but I was only there for a day and I'm a yank so my opinion of it surely doesn't matter.**

**I was basically just telling you you were wrong because you told me to and I'll do anything you tell me to if I there's a chance it will make you happy.***

***I just want to make you happy.
