I have lived in cities. Going to the theater held little charm for me, although I did go when a friend of mine was acting in a community theater. I went to support him, not because the play was a draw. I never had any neighborhood friends. In most of my apartment blocks, very few people spoke to each other. I quickly found out I had nothing in common with those who did talk to me. When they went to the local restaurants, it was to talk about American sports and drink beer. I don't do American sports or drink beer.
