I'm a Navy-brat so I have lived in both large cities and podunk towns.
That being said I am at heart a countryboy. Living in a very small Texas town I went from despising country music when I moved there, to being one of the best 2steppers you'll meet.
I currently live in a city (Austin) and I love it here as well, tons to do, new people every minute of the day.
But I still need to return home every month or so. Go out hunting havolinas, quail, whitetail, etc., go see the ol' football/wrestling team, and just see all the old faces.
Country living is one of those that grows on you, you can resist it for a year or two but the people and the country itself alter you. I have seen people move to a city only to find themselves alone and depressed, but I have never seen a person do that out in the country.
