Of course, I'm not that far away from there now.<br /><br />And I don't know why you're worried about superstitious people in technologically advanced societies. There will always be those that hold on to the old beliefs.

The city that became my hometown had lots of advantages, including the historical fantasy park, Valley of the Moon.

What I love...You are the Queen of world building. <br />What I loved about my neighborhood was that we were on the edge of 'civilization' or so it felt to me at the time. Just down the block were fields with old sheds and horses. We had the Jordan river less than a half mile walk. It was a magical time.<br /><br />Jaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01855191816253362396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-40708951322888040762013-04-08T11:18:18.895-05:002013-04-08T11:18:18.895-05:00I'm in love with all of your beautiful names. ...I'm in love with all of your beautiful names.

I like to visit once in a while, but can't stay there.<br /><br />I would also say that not developing a town isn't that far out of the realm of reality. Any small Midwestern town has the potential for stagnating. Partly why many of us have moved on, which just encourages additional stagnation. And on and on it goes.
