Trying to set myself up for those opportunities financially if you know what I meanIt's not over yet, I bet that's exactly what many of them do when (if?) this mess ends.

I dunno, I know more of my neighbors here than I ever did in suburbia, and have only been here half as long.One more plus for urban living.... I get along with 9 out of 10 of my neighbors. Smile, wave, talk over the fence, share garden produce, pick up the mail and paper when out of town, keep an eye on the place, help each other with yard work/snow removal, fishing partners, share a beer.
We want to know the story on number ten!One more plus for urban living.... I get along with 9 out of 10 of my neighbors. Smile, wave, talk over the fence, share garden produce, pick up the mail and paper when out of town, keep an eye on the place, help each other with yard work/snow removal, fishing partners, share a beer. One of my retired neighbors is a machinist. Helped me with many things over the years. His son is a carpenter. Gave me lots of good advice while building my garage. Complimented me on gutter and soffit repairs on the house. Made sure I was doing it right without me even knowing.
Interesting thread. I consider my place to be a lifelong hobby. I can't imagine not having something fun and exciting to do here. I love the planning, the prep work, and seeing it all come together. Every year, it gets better, but every year, I have more things to do then I did the last year. It's never ending, and I think that's the part I like the best. I would hate to not have anything to do, or dream about doing!!!
I live a double edge life...Travel to work in the big cities sometimes 4 to 12 weeks at a time; LA, San Fran, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Philly, Boston, Atlanta, oh my. So when I come home to my Fortress Of Solitude in the boonies, my God, I eat the dirt for a treat... Thank You, Lord.If nobody wanted to live in the cities, and everyone wanted the rural lifestyle, then our rural life style would probably be ruined. Lets be glad that some (make that most) people like to live in the city.
Pick your caliber Brother... Just do me the same...If I ever move to a city again, just shoot me because something is wrong.
