Hello People,
So I was wondering what you guys think is rual? I consider rual being on the sideway of the highway and the nearest town is 60 miles away with a gas station being the only place within miles. Some people might consider a town with less than 50,000, complete isolation. Do you live in rual areas? If so, and you have kids, how do they respond when going to larger cities? I used to live on a reservation and most of the youth would always say "I can't wait to get outta here!"...I'm glad I did
My God, the Poconos has gotten so built up since I went there for vacations as a kid. It's just like more suburban sprawl now. There are traffic lights everywhere, and a Wal-mart and a ton of chain hotels and stores.
It used to be country. Now people live up there and commute across NJ to Manhattan.
Well MT. Pocono is a little urban but if ur talking about the countless comunnities those are suburban. But other than that its rural

Yes, I know. But my family spent our summers there when I was a kid, and it's astounding how much it's been built up. Traffic lights on 611 and 940. K-Mart, Wal-Mart. There are stores in Blakeslee and pizza places everywhere. And so many houses now.

I think they don't because in my section PCP which has a Rep for being bad (its not bad) they harass the pizza delivery guys so what would with Chinese
Or maybe it's anywhere without cell phone service?
Bingo! Have heard more than one amusing tale of a person traveling in a remote area, usually a woman, whether alone or with a companion, that has actually become panicky when her cell phone does not work because there is no signal in the area. Hard to believe that any adult could become this urbanized and married to their techy toys, but apparently such persons are not unusual. For myself, being in a cell free area would be like a brief trip to paradise

Quite so. The fall travel season is not far away, and a late September or October driving trip to some remote area is in the planning stage.
There are 2 espresso bars attached to my bldg. If I can't find at least 5 of them within a 10-min walk in any direction... I'm in the middle of nowhere.
