Hate everything about this city, feel like im supposed to know everyone but only surface level so it feels so overwhelmingly empty. Miss my small town with actual seasons, gatherings, affordable housing and pacing. None of those things pay bills however. Also yes I just responded to your shade about people who throw shade on cities, with my personal shade on cities. I dont intend to invalidate anyone else's opinion, just letting out my discomfort as a cope (I'm heavily contemplating therapy just to get through with living here but money is a concern so RUclips city comments it is)

      It's because they're in a small town in the middle of nowhere so they have nothing to do besides complain on the Internet. I've come to realize that the reason why RUclips comments sections tilt so heavily towards rural/small town people is because big city people are too busy living their lives in the real world.

    My best friend moved to Lexington, KY years ago after her divorce, so I've visited up there a lot over the years. It seems like a very nice town. They have a couple of universities, and there are lots of quaint areas with early Victorians. It definitely has a small town kind of feel. And the surrounding area is beautiful. I considered moving there after I retired, but for whatever reason (laziness mostly), I stayed in Dallas.
    A woman I worked with is in Colorado Springs, and yes, it is conservative. That's mostly because the Air Force Academy is located there are lots of military and ex-military families there.

    Left a blizzard in Colorado, flying to Green Bay. Bundled up. Transport dropped me off at hotel across from the hospital. I just had to walk across the pedestrian walkway into the main entrance of the hospital. I didn’t warm up for 6 hours (neither joking nor exaggerating). It was C-c-cold that February! They brought me back in a year or two later. Spring, I think. FanTASTic!!! They took me to a Fishing Camp just outside of town for a fish fry before I flew home. Fried fish, brown bread & butter and sliced onion. The best fish I had ever had! Still! Could not remember the name of the fish, caught only in that lake. It’s a local thing. Spent last summer in Michigan. Hoped to find it but no one knew what I was talking about. I would live in Green Bay, just for that fish! Cold is fine if you are prepared. I wasn’t. It’s a different cold than Colorado but it can be conquered. Hard Pass on Raleigh, Charlotte and Boise. I WOULD live on the Eastern half of Idaho. Huntsville is nice as are the rest of the cities that I am familiar with. There are a couple I haven’t been to and can’t say.
