Small towns are not for everyone. It's hard to escape small towns, everybody knows you and the cultural activities are just very limited. I feel quite trapped in my small student-city, there's just nothing new anymore and I am quite bored of the usual activities. In those superblocks you are still living in the city and it's easy reach other parts. But you don't have to for your day-to-day needs.
- mark_l_watson 5y agoI am starting to think that living in a small town is not for me either. My wife and I have been living in a beautiful small town in the mountains in Central Arizona for 20 years. It is beautiful here, and we get a million tourists a year to verify that. What I miss is culture, things like music, museums, lots of ethnic food, stage productions, etc. Without success so far, I am trying to talk my wife into permanently renting our home, and downsizing to living out of 7 or 8 steamer trunks that could be shipped efficiently. To start with, I would like to live in apartments for about 6 months each in Quebec, Santa Barbara, near family in Rhode Island, etc., etc. I figure we could do that until we are ready for moving into an nice assisted living place.
