It's an interesting choice, isn't it, June? I grew up in a small town, then spent twenty some years living in or near cities (which I loved at the time), now I'm in a very small town and I wouldn't change it , I love my little simple life these days. I say follow your heart... you have to LIVE where you choose, and you can always visit anywhere else...
p.s. I do miss some shopping opportunites... thank goodness for the internet!
