i was born and raised in the urban world and moved out of it for enough time to know that i'm a city girl at heart. i LOOOVE my multicultural traffic jammed people infested cities with all their hustle and bustle of the world i grew up in.

dang. i missed it so much.

I'm a country girl, all the way. Have lived in both large cities and the country, and know beyond a doubt that I need the peace and quiet. I will retire eventually, and I've got my eye on some property in the mountains of TN for that very purpose :)

I was raised in the southern burbs of Chicago, and my hometown now is just over-run with strip malls, restaurants, car dealerships, and doctor's offices.

I only live about 20 miles or so from there, but I see deer every week, I can talk to neighbors and get super-fresh veggies from their fields (not backyard gardens- fields). I can't remember the last time I locked my door at night. We play bags from spring to fall, euchre from fall to spring.

I know the names of 80% of the people that I pass walking around town, and even if you don't know them, you say Hi, and smile.

City life? Nope, not no more now, eh?

This post reminds me of Stevie Nicks "Leather & Lace"

My city or Mountain....Stay with me Stay.......

I love that song!

" Dreams" was my favorite

Where I live, I can have the country and get to the city in 15 mins.

I can have the best of both worlds

This thread reminds me of the Green Acres song.

"Green Acres is the place to be"
