@vivianoblivion Yes!
Try being 40 to 60 years older and looking around your childhood rural countryside and seeing:
Beautiful Pastures full of Cows.
Gone!
1000's of Arces of Cotton, Soybeans, Corn, Sugar Cane.
Gone!
Beautiful Century old Homesteads.
Gone!
Winding Peaceful Country Roads.
Gone!
Forests you Hunted & Camped in when a Kid.
Gone!
Old Country Stores & Churches, Fishing Ponds.
Gone!
Malls, Office Towers, Industrial Parks, Factories, Urban Centers, Planned Developments, Apartment Complexes, Mini-Marts, Outlet Stores, Hotels, Car Dealerships, 6-Lanes Highways, Channelized Creeks,
the Future is HERE!
Now I've gotta drive 35 miles just to get away from the obvious Progress, Modernization, Renewal, Improvements and close to seeing somethibg like my daily Childhood sights, now all Mowed Under the Processes of Progress.
Around this area rural is still kinda available, but much further away both physically & temporally.
