I grew up in Colorado Springs, and now live in Vermont.  The city has advantages, there are numerous types of stores to buy different stuff and here not so well, we have to drive 45 mins to go to walmart.  And the obvious there arent many jobs up here.  On the other side of the coin the pluses include, its quiet here not many robberies close, I can go 5 minutes and go shoot my gun, go 4wheeling, dont have to deal with crowds of people, not a lot of traffic to deal with.  I like living in the rurals here but the job situation sucks, is my only issue with vermont.  I have worked on people homes here, that you MUST have a 4wd to get back and forth, no power, generators and solar only an hour and a half to get to any kind of grocery store, no thanks unless I worked from home and made really good money doing it :D  oh and unlike the city it actually gets dark here  :aok

Homersipes, IBM sent me to Vermont for six weeks once. I loved it. But only Burlington is any kind of city in VT and we spent time nearby. In that time the only crime I recall was a Pizza guy who got held up by a woman with a hairbrush. The rest of VT is the nearest I can think of to heaven except for winter.

But in truth, I'm a city boy even if I like the country. I love the crowds. I can walk down a crowded street dodging people and the crazies and feel totally relaxed. I grew up in a city famous for crimes, shootings and drug warfare and all that stuff but I moved to another smaller city and think it's too dam quiet. Meanwhile I drive out of town for 45 minutes and https://www.flickr.com/photos/48218975@N05/13415722363/in/photostream
But in truth five minutes one way puts me in the country, five minute the other way puts me at the beach and five minutes later I'm in town. I have the best of everything.
