I don't have anything against a big town, but I was born in (near) a small town and live in (near) a small town. Heck, this is probably where they'll bury me. My wife is from So Cal but I brought her to my small town and now she's small town, too, just like me.

Exactly. It's like someone saying they're desperate to get here. Craziness.

It's all who you know in this world. I just did a sweet painting job on the other side of the country based on nepotism.

I'll take the big city with its free, climate-controlled outdoor office space, though. (OK, I'm in $2.00 at the new-fangled parking meter thing). My present location:

Is that the Larchmont one? Went on a few coffee dates at that Peets. MDR is my "work" Peets and my new "home" one is 14th and Montana.

I live in a small Town of 16,000 people and I love it.
Stinkin' Thinkin'..... it'll get you EVERY time! Dr. Wayne Dyer says "Contemplate yourself surrounded by the conditions of which you wish to produce." sounds like you're doing the opposite; oh no ![]() Good Luck Quote from "Excuses Begone!" if you're interested?

Many small town folk have a lot of time on their hands, little education or experience beyond the edge of town and most have too many near-by relatives w/ the same issues. That and more contributes to a near complete lack of privacy in any issue...I've lived in a town of 5K for 11 years now...it may well be time to go.

Much of this statement would apply to far more people in large cities - homeless, the bums hanging out in front of liquor stores, soup kitchens, etc.

perhaps...but the net effect is different in a city.

Every Peets in this town has a lot of screenwriters. The Larchmont is pretty full of them, but so far I'm finding the 14th and Montana location is really industry-central. You'd think Brentwood would have more, but they can't find seats because of all the bicyclists sipping lattes there

Chef is right on. Could never tolerate large suburban areas myself. Anonymity favors the weak. Years ago i would have agreed that small towns tend to be populated by dim folks but having spent most of my life in two local towns with populations of approx. 3k people i'm beginning to think small towns are tougher to make it in because mediocrity can't hide. Definitely agree that the 'who you know' thing is always present anywhere. it might be tougher to see in big towns because such a relatively small % of the population is in the 'circle'.
For the record i did live and work outside of DC (Frederick to Rockville) for a few years after college. Liked Frederick (more countrified) but never felt at home closer to DC. Big fancy neighborhoods populated by high paid execs who never take the time to meet their neighbors unless they want something from them. Speeders pics look wonderful though and i do enjoy being around people.
