There has been the “one suitcase” move, a couple of international relocations, and more recently, moves that have required plenty of sweat and even some tears. Although moving from one place to another is something I?ve become used to, the thought of putting down roots and then relocating after decades is definitely something that I would consider an adventurous and courageous life change. This is exactly what Mary and Dana Richmond did when they relocated to Cleveland, OH for a job opportunity three years ago, after living in the Boston, MD area all their lives.
When looking for a house in their new hometown, Mary and Dana hoped to find one that didn?t need much work and that offered the best of both worlds — a little land, but within easy commuting distance from Dana?s work in the city.
