Thank you! ♥ But also, awwww. It does have a certain gut-punch now that it didn't have when I started it.

I hope that a population exodus will actually be good in the long run to relieve a little of the population/rent pressure and will mean that the people who stay are the ones who really want to be there.

the bars have been closed for months, and I'm just trying to imagine how Jess would cope!

Hahaha. Well, she seemed to do most of her drinking in her office anyway; maybe now she's keeping the liquor store down the street in business.
