That makes sense, 30-40 minutes out to really be away is good, just not in it everyday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the right circumstances, the belly of the beast is great. When my first (and current) wife and I first got back together in the early 80s, she lived in Chicago on Webster near Halsted. I would drive from Grand Haven, MI to Chicago on weekends with a CRT color TV in the car so she could watch Dallas in color. What a guy won’t do to get lucky. Fortunately, the trip was only about 3 hours, so that warning about, “ . . . if lasting more than 4 hours, consult a physician . . .”, didn’t apply. That was a great location for a then young childless couple. We could walk to Wrigley Field, The Biograph Theater, Lincoln Park Zoo and many great restaurants. She lived next door to The Athenian Room, my favorite Greek restaurant. It’s still there and still great. If you’re ever in the area, give it a try. With children, urban living becomes impractical. The public schools are scary and private schools unaffordable. The answer . . . the burbs. Now my bride never wants to live more than 15 minutes away from REAL medical care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some women dig grand gestures like that; and those that do, make it totally worth it. let me know if it worked, i have a spare television -- i’ll go toss it in the back of the car, drive around asking the ladies if they want to watch color tv. It doesn’t work anymore, at least for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not Beach Guy and I totally am. I honestly can look at the ocean everyday and not get tired of seeing it. One of the few places that i’ve been, that makes me feel relaxed. I just don’t get that from the mountains. My pecking order is (1) beach, (2) country, (3) city, (4) mountains. I don’t want to be smack in the belly of the beast (big city); but, i don’t want to me more than a 30 minute drive from it. I don't do well in an urban environment. Otherwise out lists would be the same. I practically lived at the beach/on the water, when I lived on Kauai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I like where I live. I'm in the metro area of a city of 2 million people, but I'm 25 miles from downtown. I pull out of my driveway and I'm in the country. I seldom lock my doors or my vehicles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
