City, Country or the Suburbs - Page 4

I've never been to Bristol but something i like about it, at least in terms of my perception of it, is that while other cities like to promote their every cough to the world, Bristol just seems to quietly get on with things. It's like the Belgium of Britain. Hopefully with better chips though.

Some argue that Bristol is entirely lacking in cuisine and, Lebanese shops selling dogmeat notwithstanding, they're largely right.

I just wish it had a few good art galleries. And a bigger city library, not that I ever really use libraries.

Given its large West Indian connections, that sort of surprises me.

just to go back to fish n chips. here in vancouver they dont do cod, its all halibut and chips. its not unlike your cod but its just not the same.

Cod has now become so expensive in England that i think it's only a matter of time before they find a replacement for it here too.

I do appreciate aspects of each of them and loathe others. But at this particular time and place in my life, I need to be in a city. There's no telling where I might end up when and if I decide to settle down.

the city forever, the cuntry for a few days; suburbs never.

I love the city!

The inner city suburbs. Country on weekends, or runaway weeks.

I'm not surprised on a Sonic Youth board that the city would dominate. I voted that camp, but really I prefer both extremes. The best place I ever lived was a dilapidated mansion on the Eld Inlet outside Olympia that was totally in the country and also on the beach. If the landlord hadn't been such a nutter (he was the manager for the Jefferson Airplane in the '60s and the crankiest and greediest old hippie you can imagine) I'd still live there. But I'd still want to go to the city for "action" I'm sure.

The inner city. Suburbs or country are for pussies.

automatic bzooty · 06.13.2009, 10:45 PM

not the suburbs. even though i live in the ... sub-suburbs?

i like visiting the country, but i fucking hate the lack of accessibility/convenience/whatever. i only wanna go a few blocks to get gas, or the groceries, or some fuckin' taco bell or somethin', damn.

City, I like being able to walk places and hate to drive for less than an hour. Fuck the country, I've seen Deliverance.
