A formerly anon blogger, trying to make it honest
I realized something today.
I get up, I get ready, I walk down a long hallway to the elevator in my building. I ride down to the ground floor, get in my car in the garage, and drive out.
I pull into my work parking garage, I get out of the car. I take the stairs or the elevator down to enter the building. Then I take another elevator up to my floor.
I spend the majority of my day within concrete walls. Confined, riding in and out of elevators and in and out of cars to get in and out of buildings.
I’m not saying I mind this situation. I’m just saying it’s a little depressing when you actually think about it.

No Response for "Suburban Living"
At least you don’t have to worry about an umbrella!!!
That’s just the way the suburbs are. It’s depressing if you spend too much time thinking about it. In a time when we could be so connected to each other it seems we are all locked away behind our cars, and buildings and computers. We are all victims of it and its only going to get harder to overcome. But it does also make those moments you can spend outside a lot more important.
I do the same while living in the city and have to agree with Michelle–at least its not commuting through the glorious DC weather on foot. UGH.
Move to the city…getting the see the sights and people watch break the monotony.
Esp the one crackhead guy that raps REALLY loud all long in Georgetown. Now you don’t get THAT in the burbs!!
Don’t be depressed… I hear fluorescent lighting is fantastic for the pallor. You’ll be fine!
Could be worse….you could have some medical condition and be recquired to live inside a hermetically sealed plastic bubble…I’m just sayin…
Maybe you should metro. At least you’ll be outdoors walking.
The suburbs around D.C. are really depressing strip mall type places. Rockville *shudder.* But Silver Spring, not so much, and while Bethesda is homogenous and kind of yuppy-ish, it has charm.
Still I wouldn’t call these places suburbs. It depends on your definitition of what “suburban” is. I’d call them more “greater metro area.”
Wilmington, Del. NOw that is some suburban living.
Think of it this way: you’ve minimized your exposure to bird flu.
City living IS better….unless the metro floods
Between work, travel, sleep…most of us live between concrete walls.
Farmers might have it right
