Have been to Chicago more than once, tolerated it and that's about it. I'm ok with those that like it though. I live 20 miles from the closest grocery store and like it that way. Enjoy watching the deer and turkeys in my pasture behind the house or passing through my yard. Palluca's in Frontenac. Only about fifteen miles.

L, I was born in Seattle and raised in Chicago & D.C. and now live full time here in West Virginia. Very quiet with about 10 cars passing the house weekly. My morning coffee is so enjoyable on our deck in this pristine setting. The food sucks in WV, BTW. Home invasion WV style. One of the local heathens about 18 inches from the door knob. Glad to see you here, brother Den'. As I've stated above, that's the kind of setting/environment I need now. Not quite there, but in striking distance. In the meantime, we're plugging away and staying the course. Can't say we'll be able to maintain our lifestyle if we quit our jobs in the cities we work in, and I'm not willing to just yet anyway, but we've got a few cards up our sleeves.

If I take some gravel backroads I can make it 15 miles. Heck, Frontenac gives a little bit of the Chicago feel anyways......

I would love to experience the food in some of the places you show in your pics....but they are in a beeg city You have heard of the concept of visit, and vacation, yes? You ever get here, I will happily host, and given a weekend, will have you saying, 'y'know, taken in small doses, with someone to show me around, the city ain't so bad afterall!'. STX is taking the plunge this fall. Assuming he don't get skeered off by all the muggers, lawyers and thieves, think he just may leave with wearing something few mere mortals have seen: a smile under that handlebar.

I see the CITGO sign stills shines in Boston .. and the bunny man still hops! Years ago it was announced that the CITGO (C-IT-GO when a slow hanger is whacked over the Green Monster) was being taken down. There were threats ranging from boycotting to rioting made if they tried to take it down. May it always burn. As far as the bunny, well, yeah.

Seven_Heaven Campfire Tracker S Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 3,009 North Texas	I was born and raised in Chicago. Left at 18 due to the draft. Have been back to visit in the past, but it has been about 15 years now since my last visit. The ONLY things I miss from Chicago are the museums and all of the different ethnic foods. Their idea of "ethnic food" in Texas is Tex-Mex. Got one T-M restaurant for every 3 people down here. I spent my first 18 years in Chicago yet even as a kid I longed for the country. My dad had a friend with a farm in Wisconsin and that was pure heaven to me. I've only got 4 relatives left up there and frankly, will most likely never go back. Got lots of pics, but I left the big city long before there were digital cameras. "An open message for all Democrats; "Look you are nothing and your work is worthless.

garyh9900 Campfire Regular G Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 1,153 SE, Kentucky	I left my small town home in SE Ky for the big cities 2 times. Once when I turned 18, and the other when I was 21. Each time I always felt the call to return home after less than a year(It wasn't because I was broke either, I had good jobs both times). Now 12 years after the first time, I'm raising my kids in the same small town that my parents raised me in. Fishing the same lakes and streams. Hunting in the same fields. This is the place to be. The big city was something nice to see, but that was all for me. NRA Benefactor Member
