Large cities do have many benefits. I'm from the Chicago suburbs and I've been living in the city for about 18 months. I think my next move will be to a rural area. Here are some things I enjoy about the city: * museums and art * ethnic food * ability to live without a car (I save a lot of money this way and I never have to worry about a designated driver) * large enough population to support special interest groups of all kinds * availability of goods and services (I have multiple choices for cooking classes, I can find most unusual ingredients, we still have record stores)
