Where do you prefer? I'm outside of DC right now and I'm not liking it much. I miss my country home in Illinois. No one around here understands why I like it so much because there "can't be anything to do out there". I guess I just grew up learning to go out and entertain myself...(Ahem, corn-field-truck-pull-sledding anyone? :laugh: ) What about you guys? Country or city living?

Edit: For my country people, what's your favorite thing you've come up with to do? Same question for you city folks.

    I live in the country just now, but I used to live in the city! I definitely preferred the city, but then I'm an 18 year old girl so I want the social life that comes with the city :P

    I live in a small city (40,000 ppl) and I hate it. 200 acres in Montana would be just fine with me!

    I'd say city life, but I like retreating into the country when I need a little R&R.
    What I really prefer is suburban life, because you're far way from the city to avoid all the hectic stuff, but close enough to go paint the town every now and then. And the same with the country!

    I got the same "Don't you get bored?" routine when I moved to the city, but I personally found smaller towns were more entertaining. I don't care much for absolute farm towns with no stores or anything, but I like suburban type areas.

    I can't say that I HATE the city, just out of my element and don't really relate to the people around here. I grew up in a dinky farm town with 46 people in my graduating class. LOVED IT!! My idea of a night out back then was going "into town" 30 miles away to see a movie and eat at the Olive Garden!

    A bit of both - I love the endless options in London - but I am always so refreshed when I go home to Scotland. I guess having both makes me appreciate the good things in each that much more.

    I love the country!!! I live in a big city (10+ million) now and I absolutely loathe it. I need a job that allows me to move back to the place I love.

    City!

    Countryside is nice to visit but I want plenty of things happening on my doorstep (not literally, of course).

    I live in a small city (approx 13,000) and I couldn't imagine living in the country. Although we have farmers fields bordering and extending into city limits (beside the school that my kids attend). So I guess I have the best of both worlds? Lol :happy:

    Country...

    I have lived in a city for the past 12 years, I actually find I am more bored here than I was town that was 500 people and most of them were old (like 80+). I always get funny looks when I say that but in the town/farm area I grew up in we did pretty much everything - from racing grain trucks to snowboarding behind cars.

    My graduating class had 32 kids, my total school had about 150 kids and it took 2 towns and a military base to make the school that big. lol

    grew up in the city....raised my kids in the country.....always wished I have their life....the neighbor kids (1/4 mi away) had a pool, and we always had horses....and they could ride cross country to the lake.....
