Where I live is more 'small town', although I am not that far away from a big city!  :)

Country.

I grew up in a small town but live in a city now.  I much prefer the small town.

I grew up in a town with a pop of 510.  Sure is almost impossible to cook ethnic foods around here but, the crime rate is lower and you don't have to drive eleventysevengazillion miles to turn around if you miss your road.  Also living 10 blocks from the public beach and 300' from a wonderful lake, there are plenty diversions.  We would go south several blocks to hang out in the roller rink or the arcade, or, we would just go north and across the highway to go play in the woods.
Right now my wife and I are looking for a home in the country 'cause we live in a city.  The old axiom is true " Good fences makes for good neighbors."  I would prefer NO neighbors.
God lyk!

City, but not like a humongous city. Nothing like Los Angeles or San Francisco or anything.

Threre's good and bad for both. I grew up in the city of Colorado Springs and I loved it more when there were less people here....meanwhile, my sister lives in the mountains (Divide, CO) and my brother lives in a tiny Nebraska town and I know that my nephew's and niece's have always expressed resentment for being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Going 10 miles to get to school or a store is not my idea of bliss yet neither is worrying about being shot at or putting up with crap from booming car stereos when I go for a Slurpee ::)

I'm much more of a small town person.  I did live in a big city for a few years, and although there was a lot to do there, I couldn't see spending my life that way.  Made me far too nervous.  :-[

My hometown, and where we live now, is much smaller.  I mean, sure, we have a couple of "major department stores",  but most of the city is made up of the sailors on the base.  My friend, who lives in San Antonio, says our six elementary schools PALES in comparison to the dozens they have..so apparently, we are much more "country" than "city".  :)

Oh well, I like it here.  :)

Country country girl ('cept for the music).  I grew up in a town population 1,000 (including cows  ;) )  I don't know what I like better though.  Small town high school is definitely better, but living out in the sticks, I sometimes get scared that like some escaped convict could be hiding out on our property.  Now, living in a city means much less yard work, but I don't really like crowded places.

City slicker.  I hate living this far out of the city.  It's too quiet and there's nothing to do.

I'm from a town of 7,500. I'm a suburbanite and like it that way, so I'm neither from the city or the country.

Born and raised in New York, but I live in the country now.  Small town in Southwest Virginia.

I couldn't imagine living in a big city again.

Depends what city and what country we're talking about. In general, I'd still say city. But then again, I don't know anything else.

We're not talking about the city and another country......we're talking about the city and THE country.  You know, rural areas as opposed to urban areas.

Yeah I know, I just realised I worded it wrong. I've lived in suburbia all my life, so in a way that's somewhere between city and country.

Alpharetta has about 35,000 people in it, so it's not a small town......but compared to where I grew up, which is 100x the size......it's small and cramped.

Small, yes, but I'd expect you'd feel a greater sense of space in a small town rather than a cramped Chicago tenement.

Thinking about it, I'd say I love the city *and* small towns.  But I don't like the 'burbs...which is where I am.  :-\\ (but actually, fifteen minutes East is city, fifteen minutes West, small town -- so I have access to it all).

Excuse me?  I didn't grow up in a tenement slum.  Is that what you think all people in Chicago live in? 


And Alpharetta is small and cramped because there is nothing to do in this godforsaken town.  Once you've been to the Mall, you've done all there is to do.  After that, you either sit and rot in your house or find some way to go to Atlanta, but since I graduated......I have no reason to go to Atlanta.  So, I'm stuck here.
