Which do you prefer?

Number 9 Dream · 08-16-2005, 12:44 PM

Suburban-- not too busy, not too slow....just right

*MIBabe03* · 08-16-2005, 12:55 PM

Suburban. I stayed with my grandma for a month in rural MI. Never again, I was so freaking bored.

MariposaLKB · 08-16-2005, 01:16 PM

Suburban. That is how I was raised, and I had a great time growing up--riding my bike all around the neighbor from morning to dusk, going to friends' houses without having to make a "play date", walking with them to shopping and fast food restaurants, all with no worries...and no cornfields right outside my window LOL!

I have stayed on relatives' farms and have visited NYC twice--while they are all wonderful in their own ways, I have no desire to live in either environment fulltime. I am caught in limbo since being married and having kids--a semi-rural "bedroom community" of a fairly large city--and I honestly hate it, but what can ya do, huh?

I've lived in the suburbs since January 1979 (when I was 2 1/2 years old) so I know no other way of life. I would perfer someplace more rural though.

MariposalLKB, I love your Def Leppard quote. It perfectly fits the way my life has been for the past month.

DAX, I lived in suburbs for 3 quarters of my life, and the place I live now will probably soon qualify as such, cuz the city is expanding in this direction--I can't wait!

Rural is OK for a while, but I've had enough!

As for the quote, thanx for noticing! I am waaay behind the times, I know, but had never heard that song until my daughter asked for DL's greatest hits for her birthday. It describes my life for the last two years....

TripperFan · 08-16-2005, 01:54 PM

I grew up in the suburbs and considered moving to the heart of the city when I first left school, but never did. My brother did and is still there and loves it.

We're now out in the country - about 30 minutes from the city and I just love it. They'll have to take me back kicking and screaming. It's an easy drive to the city if you want the shopping and nightlife, but we've got an acre of land around us, breath fresh air and actually see all the stars at night!

Who needs a cottage when you're living this lifestyle!

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 08-16-2005, 01:56 PM

I've always lived in the Suburbs. I would like to live in the City, too, but that would be WAY too expensive for me.

I could never stand living in the Rural area!

The Modfather · 08-16-2005, 01:57 PM

Rural, I've lived in this small "village" for my whole life. Population: 72! I love it! But with so many damn subdivisions being built it's only a matter of time...

barwars · 08-16-2005, 02:28 PM

City. City. City.

I've lived in the city my entire life, and I have no desire whatsoever to ever move to a rural or suburban area. People who live in suburbs tend to live much more sheltered lives than those in the city. When you can count the minority students in your school on your hands, you know its whitewash.

Suburbs are for subordinates.

Bobby F. · 08-16-2005, 02:28 PM

Been looking for some land out in the country for while. Just haven't found it yet.

Babes_Cat · 08-16-2005, 02:30 PM

'burban.
not too close to it all and yet not too far.

PZelda · 08-16-2005, 02:45 PM

city. City. CITY.

I lived in the 'burbs AND rural areas at one time. I liked the 'burbs, but HATED living in a rural area. Now I live in my hometown again, which is a small city, and I could not love it anymore than I already do.

I'm just 3 minutes away from the mall via car, and I live RIGHT next to the downtown part. Not too far from the business district, either...Lots to do here.

I love it here, but I'd like to move to a bigger city... so I hope to move to Minneapolis one day.

suburbon, It's the perfect mix between the too.
