Urban Life
Nice not being so dependent on automobiles
I really enjoy living some place where I’m not so dependent on automobiles.
It’s nice to be able to walk down to the library, to a Stewart’s and to the town park. Heck when I feel adventurous I can even walk to the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center.
I have express and local busses that take me to and from work, and to various shops and entertainment venues. I can have a few drinks and take the bus home. I don’t ever have to worry about parking, about being tired on the way home or getting into a wreck. Snow is just an occasion to wear boots and not worry about the road conditions.
