I wouldn't move back but there are "some things" I miss. The lilacs and daffodils and other spring flowers along with when the song-birds return. I miss the small town I moved here from---though it is growing too and has it's issues (social media reports this). I miss the familiarity that comes from living a long time in an area. I miss the smell of grass being mowed along with fresh gentle rains.
There are other non-tangible things I miss. I do know one can't ever go back as LIFE changes and our memories sometimes are very selective. The midwest though is a lovely place with farm-lands and forests along with lakes.
