Well said. In our dating years we would go into New York City to the theatre or to eat at top restaurants for special occasions.......moved to Vermont in 1970 and never once missed the "culture"......although it's only a 45 minute to one hour ride away in Albany New York or in Saratoga Springs, New York or in the Berkshires of Massachusetts...........never bothered to go....as we discovered we enjoyed the small town lifestyle. Raising our family was our top priority and seeing our children's school performances , ballet recitals and now our grandchildren's performances, etc. fill the void of "lack of culture".
As you say, it is "out there" if one wants to find it..........but quiet peace is often preferable.
