Heh, grew up in the suburbs as well.
What comes around goes around (with me at least).
I did city livin for about 5/6 years and loved it. It was very exciting. And it's very true, this city never sleeps. I would be able to walk out of work at 2-3 in the morning and have somewhere to go. But once the charm wore off, I craved the getaway. I wanted trees, grass, more nature. And back to the suburbs I went. But for work, I wouldn't want to have a gig anywhere else. Manhattan all the way.
The travel must be quite convenient for you. Hop on the 4/5 right at Bowling Green. Buff, into Brook.
