Yes, I do love where I am living now. We live at the end of a very short street surrounded by woods, but we are still in the city. We live about 10 minutes from all the stores and restaurants and movies but it is very quiet here, probably because of the woods around us. We have lived in other states and other cities in Illinois, but this location is about 20 min from the high school we graduated from and where DH worked 38 years in the steel mills. It is 'home' to us and all our children live within 30 minutes. We have solid roots here and would never live anywhere again. Both my parents were born in St.Louis and it is 15-20 min from our house if we want the big city.
