Always lived in hard drinking mountain mining/college towns, then I had to go and fall for a girl with a kid in the middle of a dry county in the middle of AR...now I know rural as opposed to small town...it's kinda nice.
Well I currently live in New Tampa..... I am not sure what it would be considered its pretty much was a rural area but its developing into a suburban area now I guess? Only certian areas are developed with others devloping and others not touched (at least not yet).I can drive out to the middle of no where a few ways and drive into devlopment and shopping areas in other directions. I live in a large community (like those neighborhoods within a large neighborhood), its built in the middle of a cypress swamp (kind of sad as I am sure it held importance and somewhat still does... and It looks cool), so I can go to the back side of my complex or across the street and walk right into a swamp.
