as a close friend or relative though, i'd probably buy you a mossberg 500 tactical as a housewarming gift. good luck with norristown. lol. hope it works out better than most i've talked to. i know you say it's a really decent part of norristown, but seriously... they have legs... and cars.

HAHAHA legs and cars. thats good. anyway, im serious, its not bad at all. some of the houses i was looking at were def really bad. with one house that i checked out, i came out after about 20 minutes inside, and there were 2 dudes chilling on my s12. i saw them from far, picked up my pace and when i got there, they had a jack, test light and a hammer? i wasnt sure wtf they were planning, but it wasnt good lol thankfully i got there before they started breaking ****.
and im not sure what a mossberg is, but ive always thought about buying a gun...

yea, its norristown. cheapest in montco, but still right in the area that i want/need to be (work, school, friends...) i ****ing hate commuting so it really works out.

and although norristown is cheap, they also have the highest taxes around. a small house like the one im trying for runs you almost $3.5k a year for taxes. a condo i was looking at in norristown was only 2.2k, but when you add up the $165 monthly maintenance fee associated with being in a condo and not a regular home, you come up with an extra 2 grand a year, making the condo even worse. and what do you get, free lawn mowing for your 10x10 patch of grass?? haha ..well they do take care of the roof, but still. **** that
