I've traveled the lower 48, lived in both. Country living wins.

i hate living in the city,, i like the country,, was raised on a farm,, and its what i prefer

same as thumper but the city is where the work is.

i live 10 miles north of raleigh nc, so im not too far away from work, so im all good with that department, but i prefer the clean living of the woods and farmlands that surround me

I hear ya.

i live in michigan and i hate winter.

i like winter,, i dont like heat

Canadian winters.... I hate the cold

LOL, thats why I'm in Fla now

I am a country girl through and through at heart...

but happen to live in the noisy dirty
concrete jungleland now...

hopefully not for much longer...

but I get away as often as I can...
to visit family and friends all over
and ride my bike to the river and the parks
and visit my kids and other people
who live in more peaceful locations
where you can still hear the hummingbirds
singing in the treetops during the day ,
and actually see the bright stars and constellations,
and listen to distant coyotes & wolves in distant places...
dance in the magic & evening glow of the fireflies...Oh!!
& hear & see the barn owl in his night time flight....

I'll take country over the city anytime...

I'm a Country Boy all the way!!!!!

That's Cool...All you country folks...

I'm envious....
Where is the pushed out bottom lip emoticon?

Can I come visit You ....Country Folks?


please????

It gets soooooo crazy here where I live...

Ah!!!!

Im a country boy, born and raised there!!

I've been Country even when I'm in town..

When 'the creepy crawlers'
try to slither nearby...

& the cold concrete city blues"
try to seep into my very soul...

I listen to & sing songs like this one...

Till It Shines.

Words and music by bob seger

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
Ive been too long on these islands
Ive been far too long alone
Ive been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines

I think LIVING in the country is best but still prefer being within striking distance of a city or 3. I live on a lake and have 3 cities in 3 different directions that are each 45 minutes away. My job relies on being near the high population areas but I can commute to it this way!I like my cake and eating it too!!

new york is my destiny

really

if i don't find love elsewhere

Country living for me...but within reach of the big city if I choose to go there for a visit or something.

That's why I love my part of Connecticut I call home...the area where I am is country through and through (and it just rocks this time of year...foliage everywhere...the only thing I could do without are all the "leafers/leaf-peepers" that decide to drive really really slow on the roads on weekends )...but, NYC/Long Island/North Jersey are only about 90 minutes away (either by train or driving..or in the case of the Island, a ferry trip from Bridgeport), Boston's about 3 1/2 hours away, and heck, Philly, Baltimore, and DC aren't THAT far (probably around 4-5 hours to Philly and Baltimore..6 for DC).

maybe its just me but if you cant walk out of your door butterball nekkid and not get in trouble then it aint country to me
