This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

City dweller reviewing a small town lol

Peace and quiet is not a minus. Peace and quiet is exactly the point of those places. If I wanted night clubs and people on the streets, I'd live in a city.

Grew up in a small village. Immediately moved to a big city as soon as I could.

It's funny - I live in a big city because I have to and I constantly complain about it to my friend who wanted to move to this city so much that one day she just drove here with almost no money and no place to stay. I don't think she's very sympathetic.

And as someone who’s done the small town bit I feel much more for her than you. I love cities, I didn’t think I would but once I fell for them I fell hard.

Different people like different places. I can’t live the life I want rurally without a lot of drives to cities. I know people in the boonies who would never move an inch closer to a city. Some folks are born in a place that ain’t right for them.

Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

I live in a small town in northern Europe. I don't see the problem.
