I have lived in many more desirable cities, yet

I find myself here in Tallahassee. Like your commentor Kathy from 5/11/05, (of whom I probably share much in thought), I came here for school (and had a parent and grandparent who were professors here) and got married to someone who owns a business here. I am from Madison, Wisconsin (enough said)and grew up traveling extensively and have lived in various states and countries. I've found myself feeling trapped here for my husband/convienience sake. Although Tallahassee at first look is green and lush, with sleepy charm, collegiate endeavor, and the promise of capital government,if you are of another background in philosophy, you will find the luster wane. I've learned over the years to find the areas/people/hobbies/pursuits I feel akin to, but I wish it was more natural to this area to harbor more inclusiveness, diversity, creativity, and dynamicism. Essentially Tallahassee is an updated old south.
