Really, I do. I guess I should call them the Suburban suburbs (or S.O.S.- Suburbs on Steroids), because I am now living at 140th street and working at 5th street. However, living out in the boonies has its advantages. You see, the S.O.S. is like the Texas of neighborhoods-- everything has to be bigger and better than all the other neighborhoods.
