just got back from a 4 day run to boston. God i hate it on the east coast. Driving in it is a mess.Don't know how people live in a big city like that. I'll stick to my small town of 200 people. We have a fire dept. and a pop machine, thats all of downtown. No stop lights or stop signs

".....and a pop machine."   Lol.   Where's it located?

I know exactly what you mean.  We are just big enough to have a Post Office.  The girls there are simply awesome...  it's like having my own shipping department!

I enjoy living in the city. I live across from a forest preserve grove along the north branch of the chicago river. For the most part it is peaceful quiet and like living in a small town. We have a lot of animals and birds. We have a pack of coyotes that patrol the river length and we have a lot of large deer, had a huge buck in my back yard last season. I've lived rural and the people are about the same in as much as those who would be disturbing, those are everywhere now days. The nice thing is that I don't travel too far to have access to almost everything there could be that is needed. Within 5 to 7 miles from me I can get almost anything. I only put around 6,000 miles on a car in a year and I'm always off to some place. I suppose that how you live in a city has a lot to do with what your experience might be. Myself, I rarely sit in traffic as I tend to keep my business very local. I did at a point in time spend around 3 hours per day in heavy traffic daily and it really did bite a chunk.

Pauline, it's in front of the fire dept. lol
The closest place to get anything is a casey's 17 miles away.
I always get plenty of beer and a pizza on friday.
