    This is an interesting thread. I live in a rural area of Connecticut. Most
    people don't realize there are such remote areas as this in southern New
    England, but there isn't much here. If you want to do anything, you usually
    need to travel, and we travel a lot. Nearest mall is an hour away. I'm doing
    graduate work at Central CT S. U. which is an hour and 20 minutes (60 mi)
    southwest. My girlfriend lives an hour and 25 minutes(70 mi) north. The
    largest roads within 30 miles are state secondary roads, two lane asphalt.
    But I don't mind driving. This is a good place to live.
