One of the regular features of the Move to Suma is our breathless reporting of celebrities who have made the move to the suburbs, in what is an obvious and thinly-veiled attempt to validate my own decision to leave the city. I mean, am I really so uncool to live in the suburbs if people like Jonah Hill, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Beyonce and Jay Z, and Usher are making the move with me (not, of course, really WITH me, but you get the point)?
Those are pretty cool people, amirite? So, in the spirit of fairness, I have to report this little nugget from the Daily Mail:
For one TV co-host, changing her view was as simple as moving to Connecticut.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who serves as co-host on The View, has purchased a sprawling $4million estate with her husband Tim Hasselbeck an hour outside of New York City.
The bubbly blonde had listed her condo on the Upper West Side in March for $3.3million earlier this year. It is now in contract to sell.
Ms Hasselbeck’s rep told TMZ at the time that the family was looking for a quieter and less-hectic lifestyle, saying: ‘Tim and Elisabeth have decided to trade in city living for the suburbs.’
I have to be honest. I would have thought that Elisabeth Hasselbeck ALREADY lived in the suburbs.
This is not quite the get we had with Beyonce, but, nevertheless — welcome, Elisabeth!
