NSAID Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 If you live somewhere else than where you were raised, is there stuff you miss? Doesn't have to be the whole thing, but maybe there was an exceptional County Fair or a regional specialty you can't get anywhere else. If you still live in the same place then idk maybe there's something from the good ol' days you just can't find any more. I miss uneven land and not disgusting tap water, how bout you? 2
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 The lack of constant oppressive heat in the summer, I suppose.

SlappyKincaid Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Free trash and recycling pick-up. I never knew that wasn't the norm, it was a perk of living in a village within a town, I always assumed it was just part of taxes or something. Not like I moved far, I'm like 10 min up the road, but still. Edited May 7, 2018 by SlappyKincaid
tsar4 Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 It was more a time and a place. We moved away when the town was maybe 3.000 pop. Now it's 46,000 - you can never go "home".
NaBarney Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) The only thing I miss about living in the middle of nowhere is being able to walk out my front door and go on long walks through the woods and follow a creek or the river or the train tracks and not seeing anybody or any houses or anything the entire time. I don't have to drive very far at all for that now, but it's just different driving home when you're ready instead of realizing you've gone too far and then having to drink river water just so you can survive the long walk home all exhausted before it gets too dark.

Hornshire Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 We actually moved back to Our old stomping grounds a couple years ago. A few towns over if you want to get technical. And while there are a few local commodities- a particular pizza joint, a certain brand of chips, a particular style of chili, and what have you- that We greatly appreciate being back in Our life, it is far more the general mood of people that We enjoying having back. It's not a better or worse thing when compared to the other place; both have their pros and their cons. But We are far more comfortable with the typical attitude of home.
NSAID Posted May 8, 2018 Author Posted May 8, 2018 I have to make my own pink eggs now, that's one of the few things I miss that don't boil down to "someone else paid my bills at the time"

I miss uneven land and not disgusting tap water, how bout you? yes but not about the city itself. not miss "where" but a lot of things like memories, good times, people, places... missed opportunities and broken connections are the two that really get me, or sometimes just daydreams about how things could be much better or different than they are... i end up telling myself it could be worse...

Bouvre Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) A very old two-screen indie theater where I worked during community college and stayed after hours screening movies, watching Its Always Sunny in the theater, and having paranormal experiences with my fellow coworkers and general manager It's still there. I'm not. Edited May 8, 2018 by Bouvre
GunStarHero Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Some of the food and the few friends that still live there. Otherwise I have drastically improved my living situation by moving.
