City Slicker loving the country, no more parking tickets, potholes,trash, searching hours for a parking space, insane rent and noise! I do miss a couple of things, but not enough to go back.
I was born and raised in the little town of Riverdale, Maryland, it's a small town in Prince George's County and what is considered Metropolitan Washington, DC area. When I was growing up in that area it was a rural area, hell even had a cow pasture in the middle of town, now you would never recognize it because it's all grown up with shopping centers, apartment buildings, and fast food places, when I wasn't in school I was on my grandfather's farm in Anne Arundel County on the South River just outside of Annapolis, Maryland. I grew up and lived in these areas for almost 60 years. The church that my mother and father met and were married in-in Riverdale was the same church that my wife and I were married in 30 some years ago. I'm a country boy, not a country bumpkin, I'm a well educated country boy and proud of my country roots. My wife and I are now retired and live in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and I'm still a country boy.....
Definitely country here; I'll show my shack and a view out the front and one off the deck. I prefer the country although I do run into some real turkeys once and a while amongst the other critters.

I have lived in large cities all my life!
Lived in Kansas City,it was a little quiet for me. I liked the people though,sweeter. Visited Virginia. Real nice folks,very friendly.big difference!
But I am used to the crowd though. Just have to get used to it
Thanks, Proud - I just feel out of place - like I'm wearing a tux to the horse auction!
