JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I just drove to my 2nd theatre in Houlton 152.5 miles. Nearly 100 miles of it is north of Bangor Maine straight through some of the least populated country in the eastern US. Unless you count moose and black flies! It's all woods and paper company lands. Quiet as it gets. Rural Mo. would be probably busier and certainly not have received the 142" of snow we have had to date! We don't all live in the big cities. I lived in NYC and Boston. One thing I've noticed: it's easier for a country person to know how to live in the city than it is for a city person to know how to live in the country.

It's all a matter of perspective. I've lived in metro areas like Detroit, MI, Jacksonville, FL and Fort Worth, TX, but I'm from a rural small town. For me any place with a population greater than about 40 or 50 thousand starts to seem awfully repititious. How many gas stations, fast food restaurants, strip malls, supermarkets, etc. do you really need? Of course it takes a lot to support a large population, but for me personally it doesn't take many.

I grew up in towns that had populations of 200-300 folks. We could drive to bigger towns or cities whenever we needed to. Seemed natural to me.

I would never laugh at a small town opportunity. I'd quietly run the numbers and see if there is something good where others are not looking. If not, then just keep looking.

I left Sunday morning at 8:00 am with a platter in need of rehab. 233 miles later I was ina Boston burb. Along the way ice turned to water, snow turned to fields. We drove into Boston in search of a falafel sandwich. Passed Chinese New Year parades replete with drums and fireworks and huge flages. Parked in the grayest financial district on earth. Moseyed over to Fanueil Hall and found what we were looking for in the midst of a pulsating army of Sunday day trippers. Headed home and water turned to ice and brown to white. Pulled in the driveway 13 hours and 500 miles and 75.00 worth of gas. From little to big to little.

Mike

Next time go toe The Middle East in central square - best Flaffel Sandwiches this side of the country!

Having hung around NYC and Morocco I am a bit of a perfectionist in the falafel department and thanks for that suggest: the Fanueil Hall was not great.
