<p>"i live next to a gas station, a cow field or something, and a republican. fun stuff."</p>
<p>Lol, me tooo! Lmao, living next to a republican; i love how you stated it!</p>
<p>ANyone else out there...come on. How do ya'll cope?</p>
<p>Anywhere you go you'll find people bored with where they live.</p>
<p>You move from a small town to a large city and expect to have SO much to do everyday...but it just becomes the same monotonous routine day in and day out.</p>
<p>I think it depends what city, granded_business.</p>
<p>If the city has districts that are different enough from each other, then you can't really get bored if you leave the house. Of course, if you stay at home, or if you do only normal things, then even New York can get boring. </p>
<p>If I'm really bored, then I'll explore. Greenwich Village is interesting, SoHo's always fun, um... Yeah. I mean, I always stay below where it gets dangerous, but exploring is fun. By the way, exploring doesn't equate to acting like a tourist. Sorry, I just had to put that out there.</p>
<p>However, at big cities, there are interesting events that pop up annually that I love. The International Festival was a huge one in Houston. etc.
You just don't get stuff like that in small towns where the international population is <.001%.</p>
<p>I don't know; I don't really think it depends on the city. </p>
<p>You live in New York City for a while and it's nothing exciting. You are acclimated to the environment. A tourist comes and assumes it will be as exciting as the day they arrived for years.</p>
<p>Reality: People work and have to pay bills. You have to do that wherever you live. And those "hot spots" become less and less exciting as you frequent them time and time again.</p>
<p>"You move from a small town to a large city and expect to have SO much to do everyday...but it just becomes the same monotonous routine day in and day out."</p>
<p>I wouldn't call living in Iowa a "monotonous routine." In fact, living in Iowa is more akin to gargling a bucket of bloody diarrhea every day. Oh, sorry about the imagery. Anyone else?</p>
<p>^ You amuse me.</p>
<p>There's more to discover in larger cities than smaller towns. And more (and better) Chinese food for me to buy.</p>
<p>It depends on the person and the city. I've lived in New York all my life, but I still discover interesting things every few weeks or so. For example, there's this fantastic young designer's fair thingy inside what looks like an old basketball court (indoors) right near Little Italy. It's true that I don't get googly eyed over the buildings or whatever when I walk outside, but it's also true that New York is not as boring as Maine or Nebraska or wherever.</p>
<p>Oh- and it's true that every place has bills to be paid and all that, but what makes a place interesting is what you do after you pay the bills. While you may just... idk chop wood or go to bed in other places, in New York, you actually have a choice of things to do. And sure, you can go out for dinner anywhere, but the quality and variety is so much better in the city than it is in most places. Even if you eat cheap, you can still find really good places. And that's just food.</p>
<p>The problem with cities like New York is that you have to have the money to go out and do things.</p>
<p>^Not really, it all depends on your situation. I'm not really sure what you're getting at though, food costs money everywhere, movies, theatres, they all cost money no matter where you go.</p>
<p>I live in Illinois...which has it's "crappy" parts (for an artistically affluent far-left activist like myself atleast, being surrounded by corn and Hastert isn't the greatest). But I live close enough to Chicago which is GREAT!! and I think the only better American city is Boston.</p>
<p>Although New York has it's Broadway, opera, and vast amounts of delis. :)</p>
<p>I don't think I'll ever leave Toronto -- not for any other place in Canada, anyway. The T-dot is the biggest and most exciting city in the country; no other Canadian city comes close. It is the center of Canada's economy (Bay Street), entertainment industry (more Hollywood movies are filmed at our studios than in Los Angeles or New York, and we've got the best Broadway shows), and art industry (museums and galleries galore). We've got the nation's premier research university, the University of Toronto. Politics-wise, it is home to Queen's Park, Ontario's Parliament (right on the U of T campus). Sporting-wise, it also rocks: Blue Jays (baseball), Maple Leafs (hockey), Raptors (basketball), and Argonauts (football). Too, the array of book and music stores -- new and second-hand -- is second to none in Canada.</p>
<p>It's just a fantastic city. The only thing that sucks about it is the sheer amount of liberals.</p>
<p>i dont live in a crappy state. i live in washington. near seattle. it's not too exciting here but i'd rather live here than anywhere else.</p>
<p>states whicih i think would really suck to live in are:</p>
<p>Montana, N/S Dakota, New Jersey, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. </p>
<p>The west coast is rad.</p>
<p>I used to live in Toronto and I agree it is awesome in every regard, especially with its multiculturalism. I'm sorry liberals cause you such heartache Fidet. The above list is pretty good in terms of sucky states, but at least Texas has barbeque. Iowa has sweet corn and salty pork chops. Yuck.</p>
<p>Why, may I ask, do you think Texas sucks?</p>
<p>And what I meant is that New York is an expensive city. I could get a pretty nice apartment in Dallas for what a coat closet in New York costs.</p>
<p>Toronto is pretty cool from what I've seen of it. I was only there for a day, though.</p>
<p>I really didn't like Texas when I was there...
but Indiana's pretty bad.</p>
<p>Meh, Texas is big...you could hate one area and love another.</p>
<p>Kentucky - </p>
<p>me tooXD!</p>
<p>Texas is too humid.</p>
<p>Unless you're a Texan or a resident who's lived there for a long time, you're not going to like Texas's weather.</p>
