Good thing you won't have to deal with this type of stuff in Boston which I understand is a well planed and altogether lovely city... Out of all the cities to live in in the states its probably one of the nicest. Why does it have to be so damn far away?!?! I can't believe you guys are off into the wide world... to a place where you don't know anyone. I hope you'll find the wonderful friends and community you most definitely deserve! We miss you out here on the lonely prairies! ah small town phone books… i know you so well. here are some more frustrating things about trying to find addresses and such in a small town.
1. no one knows their street address. they’ll say “i live besides the schmitz’s old place” or “i live where old man peters used to live”
2. they don’t even know street names. they have yocal names for streets like “millionaire’s avenue” or “cat’s alley” but “go down third street”? forget it!
