The economy and school's arenÆt too bad here... A lot of my current knowledge on car's I got at a High School ROP auto class with 15 kids in it, then the more at the local JC. But, if you like certain entertainment that big city's offer, you won't really find it in small city. On the other hand, every night (when it's clear) I can see the Milky Way. I have 20 acres I can ride my dirt bikes on. I can park my jeep out-front on blocks as long as I want. I can test flex/jump my jeep on my own property. I can build and fire potato guns..... ETC. I just feel the freedoms living on the outskirts of a small city easily fill up the boredom gaps...
