I'm a Chicago girl, born and raised. I have by job based out of here, I went to school here. I can't imagine living in any place that is NOT a city of some sort. If I moved to a suburb or the country, I'd probably cry.
But that also means I've learned on the streets how to handle myself.
So COME AT ME TEXANS!
I'm 7th generation Texan, but I'm half and half on the city/country thing. I live in Dallas, which is in the top 10 largest cities in the US, but my brother and a lot of my friends are legit cowboys/cowgirls. Like, my brother doesn't own a TV, knows how to make his own moccasins and we spend family Christmas at the Rodeo Championship in Vegas. I learned to shoot and ride before I ever went to school, but I know how to pull off heels in uptown.
I've heard some good things about Chicago. You've got Wrigley Field which I will see before I die. I know nothing about Virginia. I spent more than half my life in Northern California, so, Cali has a soft spot in my heart, always. But, the economy sucks and we can't all be pot growers.
