    definitely. its in my blood. My wife and I grew up on sorta the two extremes of the metro area. me close and her far. we each prefer to go further. me to the city and her to the country so we live the middle. Just close enough for me to take public trans to work downtown.

      Nah, I get it. I live in the city now. But growing up, as a kid, you just have to have fun in some way or the other. The suburbs and the rural areas dreamed about those things you listed, but the more open spaces can also offer fun activities with as little as a ball or a day of rain. But you had to live in the season, I guess.

        where I lived would be called the suburbs but it was close to the metro area. Guess its far burbs vs close burbs things. Honestly feels like nowadays the burbs never end and it drives me crazy how far you have to be to see cornfields now.
