I went to college over in Brockport and would visit Buffalo every month or so. I guess these days I'd just stay in the 'burbs. I don't need no gritty city life!utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655370.post-1141501654885881602006-03-04T14:47:00.000-05:002006-03-04T14:47:00.000-05:00it definitely looks as though for you, there's no ...it definitely looks as though for you, there's no place like home. :)ribbiticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288584737458191447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655370.post-1141498310563213532006-03-04T13:51:00.000-05:002006-03-04T13:51:00.000-05:00Here via michele to thank the lord that I live in ...Here via michele to thank the lord that I live in the nice quiet suburbs only 6 miles from downtown Boston, but with little crime and no rats and no corpses spread out on the streets.

Unfortunately way too many SUVs.<BR/><BR/>But hell, those damned things are everywhere. I know a couple in Chicago who drive an Escalade. It's valet-parked in their building and the valets struggle to get the damned thing in and out of the car elevator.Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655370.post-1141424793675050982006-03-03T17:26:00.000-05:002006-03-03T17:26:00.000-05:00Yeah, my suburb (inner-ring, mind you) lacks sidew...Yeah, my suburb (inner-ring, mind you) lacks sidewalks. <BR/><BR/>I think that reveals a deep rooted community hatred for chilren. <BR/><BR/>"Here Jimmy! You can learn how to ride a bike! Just cycle down the driveway! There you go!" and then SPLAT. Little Jimmy is crushed by the Jones'es Ford Expedition. <BR/><BR/>Because people LOVE SUV's in the suburb with no sidewalks. <BR/>The underlying assumption being, one must be in a CAR to get from point a to point b. That, and we are more likely to run over small children that way.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994271521182983035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655370.post-1141419741225551512006-03-03T16:02:00.000-05:002006-03-03T16:02:00.000-05:00Damn straight, homeslice!!

Besides the family of 10 rats I share my flat with and that useless twat-breeder upstairs neightbor of mine, other joys of city living are: the delight I take in kicking the resident junkie in the head to wake him from his evening nod in the stairwell when I get home from work each night, or the free goodies you get when caught in the middle of a convenience store hold-up. Funny how the Asian proprietors don't pay attention to you while the gangbanger jumps in his souped up Civic to make his getaway. You'd think they'd try to avoid getting ripped off twice in the same 15 minutes.Jacques Rouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689873700660328770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655370.post-1141406671964875852006-03-03T12:24:00.000-05:002006-03-03T12:24:00.000-05:00Hmmm...very interseting! :) I have never been to B...Hmmm...very interseting! :) I have never been to Buffalo...and I do love city living as well.

I'm not in the 'burbs--I'm 20 minutes past 'em, 2 miles from the ocean. No crime to speak of here.
