[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1049200, member: 24302"] I've worked in big cities and rural areas. I've seen some pretty convoluted country addresses over the years but have found in the last 10 or so years that most rural areas I've been in have gone to a logical 911 address system. But having worked in some large urban areas it does seem that people who grow up in cities have a bit of a bias about country folk. It's often assumed(just an observation from having heard many coworkers and others) that people in the country are less intelligent and/or sophisticated. Of course that doesn't apply to wealthy people with large country estates and all the toys. If a city person drives out into the country and encounters any problems it just reinforces the bias. What wouldn't bother a country boy in the least might be a real pain to a city guy. Different culture, different perspective. [/QUOTE]
