Today, on my preferred music forum, I was accused of being "too old". I'm happy to say that's a first, in eleven years of membership, and I just wanted to thank the members who came to my defense: Marie , elphenor, Batlord, rubber soul and Trollheart. Thanks!

As usual, me and Anteater were on opposite sides of a debate, but to Ant's credit, that's always what it remains: a debate. So thanks for that too.

I enjoy debating people even if I disagree about something, so I'm glad you feel the same.

I don't think bufallo really counts as urban + tons of upstate ny is very rural.

Buffalo etc feel more like bleak Midwestern post industrial ****holes

But if you wanna call buffalo urban than ****in Greensboro is urban too lol

It's all relative, ain't it? Sure, compared to LA or Chicago, Buffalo is pretty damn rural. But compared to any place I've ever lived, Buffalo is pretty urban. For reference, I grew up in a town with barely more than 1,000 people.

jwb

That's ****in insane lol my cousin grew up in a town like that in Vermont. That's beyond rural bro you might as well have grown up on a commune.

But yeah i wasnt saying buffalo is rural.. it's a city just not a real city

Js a lot of upstate ny is actually really rural.. There are smallish cities up there too but that's not different from the rest of backwoods America

Eyyy my hometown population is 960 lol
Graduated with a class of 25. Since then the school has become one building for K-12, with only about 8 graduating seniors every year lol.

The olds come in the summertime and the population doubles.

Yeah, if you could just go ahead and try to be a little younger so you can understand whats going on, that'd be great.

lol

Fwiw, I've always found you to be one of the more level headed and astute personalities around here.

Yup, honestly, I wouldn't change anything about where I grew up, even if I had the chance. It was a very peaceful and serene upbringing. For most of my elementary school life, we didn't even have a playground. During recess we'd just play kickball on the pavement. I know we had two different buildings for elementary school/high school - and I think it remains that way. My graduating class consisted of 14 people.

Yup, I grew up in New Hampshire. I've spent plenty of time in Vermont - generally, Vermont is even more quaint than New Hampshire. Though I'm 26, my living/location preferences are probably more akin to an old retiree. Peace, quiet, isolation, with the biggest draw for tourists being the damn foliage changing in the fall. My wife wants to move elsewhere and says: "There's nothing to do here!" to which I reply "That's just the way I like it".
