Poll: Where does the escapist live?

[Kaboose the Moose]

Great City (London) but I am in another great city temporarily (Sydney)

 

[Hashime]

Rural area that is very close to a small town. It's nice here, great for stargazing.~~

I am jealous, I love heading up north (to get away from light pollution) and seeing the stars.
I once saw Neptune, it was awesome.

Darn, you got me there, even with my telescope I have yet to see Neptune very clearly.

I love staring at Saturn and Mars--(I hope my generation attempts to go there...) ;-;

My uncle's telescope is awesome because he got the science department to chip in at the school he teaches at. It was about 3mm across in the scope, and looked like a banded blue-gray ball.

Heh, Now I'm the one that's jealous. :]

I have to explain to my roommates and guests that the high powered binoculars in my room are not for creeping...
I can at least see the moon some nights.

 

[WrongSprite]

Currently at Uni in a small town (Aberystwyth)

And I'm from another small town, Bewdley.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

City (Austin, TX).

 

[The Stonker]

The city of Reykjavik.

 

[LongAndShort]

I consider Sydney a great city, but that's just me. Biggest in Australia, so Melbourne can suck it.

 

[SpAc3man]

New Zealand.

-.-

This country's full of ignorance, patriots, conformists, douchebags, and the like.

I would have to disagree. Sure theres a few around but most people aren't.

I live in New Zealand in a suburban area in a city (about half an hour drive from the city centre) with a population of around 1.4 million. About 400m from a nice beach too. I love it here. The people are nice, theres lots of stuff around to go do. Its just generally awesome.

Although the weather has been bloody hot and humid recently...

The town I'm in now is a college town (Orono, ME), but pretty small. There are around 8,500 people (not counting the college students. ). That's bigger than where I grew up though. That was a super small town on an island with a population of about 1,000 (Stonington, ME). Maybe I'll work my way up to something larger.

 

[DanielDeFig]

I have moved around all my life, but i have always lived in a City.

Right now i'm moving between a City and a Large City (there is a difference) on two different continents (Africa and North America).

 

[TankCopter]

Rural. A small town in northern Western Australia.

I think Boston can be considered a great city.

Greatest city in the world, which is why I'm moving home in 2012.

But for now, I live in a grossly overgrown small town masquerading as "the Biggest Little City in the World." Reno is a shithole and it's only getting worse---this place is gonna be Flint, Michigan in five years.

Though with a population of ~220,000, even if it is on horrible urban sprawl, I guess it qualifies as a "city". But you could come into Cold Springs at the California state line, drive all the way to the Virginia City Highlands, and still be within the Census-designated "Reno city limits." That's a distance of over 30 miles.

You drive that same distance in a straight line from, say, TD Banknorth Garden/North Station in Boston and you're either in New Hampshire or Rhode Island depending on if you drove north or south. The area covered by Reno, if superimposed over Eastern Massachusetts (and shifting the parts that would be in the Atlantic onto dry land west of the city of Boston), would hold close to 5 million people. And yet only 220,000 live here, most of them in trailer parks or McMansions depending on if they're rich or poor.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Rural area near a small town(Lumberton Texas) that's close to several major cities in Texas(Beaumont, Houston, San Antonio, Austin).

 

[Arehexes]

Small to Medium Town I guess.

 

[tharglet]

Town. Not particularly big, not really small.

I love Boston, If I were to ever move to the states (say I were exiled from canada) I would go there. I went in 2006 when my father ran the marathon, we stayed in the Sheridan next to or in (I don't remember) the prudential centre. The city is gorgeous, full of history, have good weather, has great transit, and is a university town (my peers).

It is also funny that you have Toronto Dominion (TD, unless there is another) banks down there.
EDIT: Boston has great teriyaki chicken.

City. Cleveland, OH. Let me tell you: Ian Hunter LIED.

City. Cleveland, OH. Let me tell you: Ian Hunter LIED.

Maybe because I don't live there and only passed through, but Ian Hunter was on to something. At least if the people are any measure of a city's true character, Cleveland rocks. I've met a lot of awesome people from Cleveland.

 

[Hader]

I got between city and small town and a bit of rural. Mostly the former two though.

 

[Nimcha]

City. With a population of 187.622 I guess you Americans would call it a town, but in my country that's still a respectable size.

Yeah, some of the people are pretty cool. I just haven't had much to do here yet. Haven't laid down roots, and all that.
