September 16th

I never thought I would miss my small provincial town but coming home after two weeks of being away I never felt more at home. I started to wonder, however, why people move away from the busy city/campus life to the slow suburban areas. There isn't much going on, the streets, while grid-like making it hard to get lost, aren't practical for a fast commute and there seems to be no young adults, only students and old people. So what makes the "country" life a good life. Children and teens only have older adults to look up to when adults remember what it was like in college, not in high school. The middle, young adults of the crowd almost seem non essential when raising children.
