1. Both.
I can't take one to the exclusion of the other. I need both.

3. That is why I love Austin, TX it has the best of bothworlds
It is a metropolitian area home to many worldwide cultural events yet when I hike in the green belt ,Mary Moore Seeright Park or just relax in Barton Springs I forget that I am in the city

14. There are places like that in Houston.
Then again, you can also be driving along in a "neighborhood" and start to see cows and horses. In fact, there are horses just a 100 meters from here :D

The museum district in town is one of the most tranquil areas you can get, other than inside of the Rothko Chapel :)

4. Hey that's my town (well, city) in the photo! I love the city and I love the middle
of nowhere. The in-between is not good for me.

5. I grew to love Chicago.
I lived on the southside, Hyde Park, by the lake for about 12 years. Miss it.

8. Hyde Park is lovely. I live in Lincoln Square, way north of there.
I love it. I do wish I could pick up Chicago and set it down in a nicer climate, preferably near the ocean and mountains.

6. I llike to live in the country with trips to the city on a regular basis.
I love cities but I really don't care to live in one.

7. That sounds sensible. The country suits me now, but I still crave the city. nt

10. I'm really a city girl, but I love the country too...
I am most at home in the suburbs...

How's that for a combo?!

:hi:

11. As long as it's either one or the other...
I want to be within fifty yards of a good cup of coffee or miles and miles out of town. The burbs suck.

15. I voted "town." I like the country, but some (some!) of the people in the country ... not so much.
:scared:

17. They both have advantages and disadvantages.
I like both. The suburbs seem to have the disadvantages of both, without the advantages of either. (I grew up in the suburbs.)

21. We moved to the country 24 years ago. I would never go back to the city or suburbs.
I've lived in a medium-sized town, a big city, a small town, suburbs, and now the country. I just prefer my privacy I guess.
