The Decline Continues

[exploited]

I am similar to Winchester. I much prefer living in the country, while being close enough to travel and enjoy weekends away in the city. Toronto is an hour and a half from where I live, so it isn't hard to get there on a Friday and leave Sunday night.

I just prefer the more quiet, slow lifestyle of rural living. I like being able to throw huge parties without having the cops get involved - unless they stop by for a drink. I like saving money. I like having a huge backyard. I like knowing everyone and establishing relationships that span generations.

Living in the country does suck when I want pizza at 4 AM, or a beer at a bar anytime past ten on a week night... But I have far more important things to do with my time than go to a play, a pub or a museum. And going to restaurants and pretending it makes you cultured is a total prole move.

We're not talking about "being cultured" here. Other than Menson, the rural posters in this discussion are highly intelligent and culturally aware people. It's just a matter of wanting more diverse things at your fingertips. I get out of the city every few months to keep myself balanced as well. There's definitely a trade off.

But aren't you a country kid who stayed in the country?

Anything under half a million is on the smaller side.
