I worked with a guy who didn’t understand why everyone was so crazy about the mountains. Later, I discovered that he would awaken, sit on the couch until it was time to work, come home after work, and sit on his couch before retiring to bed. He could have lived anywhere in the world and disliked it because it wasn’t the environment or the setting he disliked; it was his routine and habit of living.
To the same degree, people can live in Anytown, USA, but if they are only visiting Home Depot, Applebees, and Costco, they may as well live in any town in the United States. What’s my point? If you live in a town, it will have something to offer that is unique to that location. Find where culture in a town originates and visit that place. You really can’t say you dislike a town until you have visited what makes it special. Have you been to Lincolnville’s Porch Festival? Walk around Lincolnville and listen to more than 20 bands generating their brand of magic from the cozy porches of this community that is arguably the heart of St. Augustine. Check out Lincolnville Porch Fest.
By the way, if interested in this, you will definitely want to check out and reserve Haven Tiny House in the center of this festival at Island Properties Co (guestybookings.com). We have a remarkable city with as much history as a younger nation like the US can offer, but the waterways running through and around our city are as remarkable.
