Wow, lots of comments.
Yes, PA Engineer, I just joined to post this. Naw just kidding, I joined to complain about Glazlad, so I just thought I’d write about stuff I’ve seen happening in suburbs.
And fightinJAG, its is correct spelling. its different because it doesn’t show possession, as it’s does. Its a beautiful day. Rather than something like The day, it’s beauty lives on.
bucaneer81, I don’t care that you think that, but forcing people who live around you to not have chain-link is simply communist.
budweisest, I seem to agree with you. Gas prices going up will bring an end to Suburban living. People will either stay in the country (which is where I hope to be) or be stuck in the city, where they walk to work at one of those unique stores that are set up around them. The ones who stay in Suburbs will be swept away with the times.
One word - telecommute.
Several of my neighbors here in the suburbs rarely go into their brick and mortar offices in the city.
None of us would ever live in the inner-city gulags again. The biggest crime that ever occurred here was a drunk teenager smashing a mailbox with a stolen garden gnome. Scary stuff, indeed.
“It’s” is the contraction, “It is.”
“Its” is the possessive, “belonging to it.”

I grew up in the city but have lived and worked in the "Suburbs" for over 30 years now. Even with high gas prices now, what I spend on gas every day is less that a cup of Starbucks coffee.
City living? Ben there, done that. I ain't going back.
