country... just moved a couple of weeks ago out of urbanisation for the first time since 1994. its fucking the bomb!!!!

city has its handinessess but you cant beat the quietness and the lack of handiness as well plus the fact im only 5 miles from town as well but you wouldnt think it

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.16.2006, 05:14 PM

this is just round the corner from me

I'm a country boy... the city is a vacation. I like the Westcountry too much to make a big deal of the city.

It's back arse of nowhere or London or nothing for me.

As a little kid I spent the summers in the town my grandparents live in. I was however born and raised in a city (not a really big one, the population is about 80,000). So I'm definitely a city dweller, for me the countryside doesn't really offer anything. I'd probably miss the noises of the city if I had to move out and reside in a smaller town.
Actually I feel the current city I live in is too small for me and I'd like to get out of here and live in a place that's more vibrant.

both, i want both at the same time.

RdTv · 06.17.2006, 08:54 AM

I prefer the city, but could also do the country, just don't give me the suburbs.

afterthefact · 06.17.2006, 09:17 AM

They both have their advantages. At least in the country you can play music as loud as you want without the cops coming. But I prefer the city just cause everything is at your fingertips. Also, that's where you find out about cool stuff. They don't typically hang flyers on the telephone poles in the country. Plus, I enjoy having a lot of people around me, I don't like being too secluded. Even though I tend to be a bit of an introvert and not talk to people much in public, I just like having them there. As put by Smoosh from Mr. Show, "It's my security blanket, isn't it?" But, you have to be careful in the city. Like RdTv alluded to, some of the scariest people can be found in the city: suburbanites. They tend to kill any creative or artistic influence they get near, so you have to keep your distance. Other than that though, the city is great.

City...Hate the country...

toxic johnny · 06.17.2006, 09:44 AM

I love city life... but I also love traveling to the middle of nowhere... preferably a desert... camping for a few days and then returning to the city.

But I will probably end my days on the coast somewhere staring at the sea.

Gulasch Noir · 06.17.2006, 11:01 AM

suburbs

xpressway2yrskull · 06.17.2006, 12:44 PM

I perfer city, but worst of all is where I am.. negatives of countryside (disconnected from anything entertaining) + the negatives of the city (lots of people - the majority of which are in excess of 70 years old).

nomadicfollower · 06.17.2006, 12:52 PM

I don't get the draw of the city. In fairness, I've only visited New York once, my only trip into a city and I had a good time.
The city has what's been seen over and over again in cities everywhere. Buildings, people, filth, concrete, bad smells, rudeness, have all been experinced before and reasserted in cities for as long as they've existed.
In the country, it's quite the opposite. Nothings quite the same. New things are meant to be discovered. Inspiration lies everywhere, beauty, seclusion, silence, calm, serenity.

COUNTRYLIFE - YEAH
Why waist your health in a noisy city with polluted air?
Move to the country, tune your guitar in a hot tuning and turn your marshall stack to full blast!

Iain · 06.18.2006, 04:23 AM

I don't really know on this one but I think I prefer the city at this stage in my life at least.

Also, about the whole city/rudeness, country/niceness thing that seems to be the popular opinion. I find that to be total nonsense on the whole. You get cunts wherever you go....generally I find small towns/villages a lot less welcoming than cities to be honest.
