For what it's worth, I like boat culture, too. And, as far as Madison goes, I'm still considered living in the city. But, Madison would never really be considered all that urban. And, yah, I don't want to live in a box in the sky. I'm a front porch kind of gal.
It's a bummer that you haven't found good neighbors. Our neighbors rock. Couldn't ask for better neighbors (well, except for the manufacturing plant in our back yard. Do I have to consider them my neighbor? :P) Too bad I get seasick. Otherwise I could really go for the boat lifestyle. On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 8:26 AM, Erika L.
