To miss or not to miss

There are so many things I will miss here in the 'burg, and quite a few things I will not. Of course there are a bunch of friends and coworkers I will miss (and a couple of coworkers I won't), but as for things uniquely 'burg-ish:

Things I will miss:

• Going into stores that are huge and never ever ever crowded (grocery stores, Target, etc).


• Air conditioning by default everywhere you go.


• Seeing 18th-century "folks" doing 21st century things.


• Being able to show up to a movie right as it starts and still get good seats.


• Having a car.

Things I will not miss:

• Hyper-air conditioning everywhere you go.


• The drivers and their insistence on going less than or equal to the speed limit.


• A speed limit of 25 everywhere.


• Not walking anywhere.


• Driving.
