Wtf is the suburbs option? I live in the eighth largest city in the USA, but in the suburbs, dammit.
Yeah, but did you call it a holler.Quote:

Coffee shops, records stores, parks-in-the-city, state fairgrounds, ten Chinese places within a five block radius, over-priced bakeries, lights lights lights lights lights ad signs lights lights lights, taxis, concert venues and being conveniently located for bands to play, parades, book signings by your favorite authors, the public celebration of any holiday whatsoever (St. Patty's Day, Mardi Gras and Cinco de Mayo - ie, the fun ones), going to Safeway at midnight to get a cherry coke, getting out of a late night movie and going to get ice cream or donuts because those places are still open and the ability to get a sandwich or order pizza anywhere at 2am.Quote:

Ouch. That one hurts. I have to travel a couple hours to get to anything writerly of significance, and even Lex. itself doesn't have the kind of community I wish it had.Quote:

Urban. Definitely urban.
I want to be able to pop out of the house at midnight or later to buy some popcorn at the corner grocery store. I want to live far, far away from the nearest godforsaken pollen-producing organism so I can breathe between March and May. I want to live far, far away from the nearest biting or stinging insects. I want to hop on a bus or subway that takes me straight from where I am to where I'm going. I want action, noise, new things happening all the time, lots of people around to become friends with and upon whom you can depend to bring vital skills with them in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Urban all the way.
The stars are a drawback, though. Terrible shame. Meteor showers when you can actually see them are beautiful.
I love city living because it's so lively and active and busy! You can walk down the street and nobody gives a smurf. In my hometown, you walk down the street and everyone knows you. Or they talk to you, in the city they don't and I like that.
85% of the things you Urban folks are talking about are available in my Rural hometown.
Feels good man :cool:
I live in a village of less than 1,400 and I consider your city to be a vast metropolis in comparison.Quote:

EDIT: Pike, I would consider a town with 30,000 people to be urban. Rural is more... villages, hamlets, farms etc.
Suburban is rural as far as I'm concerned. I suffered greatly from the suburbs in which I grew up. There's no convenience.
But that's all we are. Farms, cows, people riding horses, clear skies with a view of the Milky Way galaxy every night. There's just a lot of us in one spot because there's nothing else for like 300 miles in any direction. I mean literally nothing else, it's all wild animals and stuff.Quote:
