James:

I'm the same way. I grew up just outside of NYC (technically I was 1/8 mi from
the city line as the crow flies), then moved to Fort Lauderdale (not exactly a
small town) for another 18 years, now I live in a little backwater place where
'the city' has a population of 15k and there are many people in the mountains
here (I live in Cosby TN, right next to NC on I40) that only go into 'the city'
once or twice a year! I'm not one of those yet, but soon. Lately I hate being
anywhere where there's more than 5 or so people!
