I have lived my entire life in places bigger than 80,000 people. Try Japan at 14 million and riding a Tokyo subway, then you can really appreciate crowded...
I will be a full-timer by November and I will embrace the snow birds, since it's their investment in TV that makes TV what it is. Without that investment, I suspect we'd all like living somewhere else...
Please....someone remind me of this, if I ever post about crowds
