I'm perfectly happy where I am. It's enough of a city to be a city but nothing like coming from SoCal. Living in the Los Angeles County area, all the cities blend in together. When I left, it was getting so congested and took forever to drive a few miles.

We have a Walmart, a few grocery stores, some nice dining areas and other chain food stores. You can hit just about all of them in a few hours to do all your shopping and errands without having to drive miles and miles through horrible traffic.
