So She Thought: When country comes to town (and crows about it)

One of the things I like about living in this area is the fact that property, lifestyles and ways of thinking kind of straddle the line between town and country. On any given weekend, for example, you'll see the folks who own country property dining in city restaurants or shopping at the mall. Poke your head over people's suburban back fences (assuming you can do it and not get yourself arrested) and it's not unusual to find all manner of livestock living within the city limits. Country comes to town -- and stays there -- much more often than most people or the city authorities realize.
