OrangeTV: Thumbs Up to Growth, “Faster” Buildings
I might be an odd case, but I like the faster buildings, the growing pains, and the maddening crowds that have developed. I grew up in CDA and hated it. I wanted nothing more than to turn 18 and escape this one-horse town for the big city. This was in the late ‘80s when it pretty much was still a one horse town, economically depressed and with nothing for a little punk rock dork like me to do but be bored or go record shopping (thank god we at least had Total Eclipse Record Shop, my connection to the outside world.) I craved city life, the bigger the better. Anyway, long story short, as soon as I could get out I did, and I lived in various big cities for around ten years until I basically went broke and had to move back to CDA, which I was completely dreading.
