Hmmm, having lived now in several settings, I think I've decided that I have to be near a big city, but not necessarily in the middle of it. I love that I have access to so much culture and music and history in Philly, but yet, I live right near a beautiful city park that gives me the greenery and scenery I need. I'm only 10 miles from downtown, but I have my little yard and trees. And as much as love the country, I could never live too far from all the fun
