<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jon L, post: 4493132, member: 64167&quot;]I like the Mayberry lifestyle.&nbsp; But we&#039;re leaving our current village and heading to the woods in 1-2 years.&nbsp; My family&#039;s been here since the 1930s. There&#039;s a small town down the road a piece that&#039;s an expanding concrete jungle and it&#039;s folk are spilling into our turf.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cutting through the village as an alternative route to the highway, or using our back roads to avoid traffic altogether.&nbsp; Now we see backups literally half a mile in length during work and school &#039;rush&#039; hours.&nbsp; Once I finish my recovery period, we&#039;ll move farther north, and be retired happily ever after.&nbsp; More time for tiny town thrift and antique shops.&nbsp; Winter doesn&#039;t bother me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Illinois has been very good to me searching out antiques.&nbsp; Using a cheap map, we&#039;d drive the roads with the thinnest road lines printed and aim for the towns whose name was in the smallest font.&nbsp; Then look for the shops.&nbsp; Found amazing stuff over the years, in Illinois of all places.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
