Years ago I moved up to the mountains from suburbia, and I will never go back.

A few years ago I moved from the mountains to the suburbs and I hate it and can't wait to get back.

I miss the stars...

Honestly my favorite part is the sheer volume of people, or lack thereof. The town I live in is small enough that we have a great community up here, and rude punks don't last too long. People wave at each other as they're going about their day, and it's quite pleasant. It's a ski town, so we get the influx of knuckleheads in winter and summer, but fall and spring are the best.
