Big VS LIttle

While I've always said there isn't much difference in towns from one state to the next. One big city looks a lot like another big city, and the same with rural small towns. Even though some have certain 'flavors' and local feel for instance Wilmington real estate will have a different feel than, say, somewhere in southern California, basically it's a lot the same in many ways. I've driven from state to state and always found myself thinking that a small town in Ohio looks pretty much like a small town in Illinois. One thing is true, in small rural towns like where I live (population as close to zero as you can get without having just a piece of grass on the highway) there is a huge difference from a big city and the convieniences and availability of things like doctors and such. Sometimes I love the difference, and sometimes it is a royal pain. Right now, with needing to travel long distances every week for a high risk pregnancy specialist, I am feeling the great 'pain'. I'm close to considering spending the money for an apartment up north for the duration of the pragnancy, but that's a big pain too.
