I grew up around it, so I'm entitled to state how miserable it is.

The dedicated markets have great selections in Atlanta, a town chock full'o demanding yuppies. It's not all horrid, just the burbs. St. Louis has horrid burbs, but not quite as horrid.

Burb life is dehumanizing. Feel lucky that you can live without a car. Or get a car and visit the nearest WalMart.
