That’s just the difference between people. Some people, like you, love the excitement of the big city and all the services. Some people like seclusion far away from the bright city lights and the hustle and bustle. I live about 15 miles from any semi-major metro buildup almost in the country but not quite (there’s farm acreage outside my backyard). I like it that I don’t have close neighbors. The really big city is 140 miles away, and that’s alright by me.
I’ve lived in large cities, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, and small cities, Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC. I will never live in a big city again. I am now living in a small city suburb of Greenville and love it. People are friendly, the weather is good, Christianity is accepted, we have everything the big cities do except a lot of democrats!
And I saw Lindsey Graham at our Christmas (not holiday) Parade last night. He was in the parade and I didn’t hear anyone yelling obscenities at him.:)
