That's the way I feel about Wisconsin. I was born and raised in a small town near Green Bay. After I graduated high school, I moved to Green Bay and lived there for 8 years. I really liked Green Bay as a city and a place to live, but at the time I was young and looking for more - and thus my move to Chicago!

Well, I definitely got more, and now I'm sick of it and can't wait until I can move back to a much "smaller" place to live. Chicago is really a great city, and I love it for what it is and what it has to offer. I'm just sick of the traffic, the crowds, the idiots and the hassles. Chicago has been very good to me, and I'm glad I moved here and got out of "small town Wisconsin," but now that I've seen the big wide world (or at least parts of it) I can really appreciate "small town Wisconsin" and would love to be able to move back there. Not only is it beautiful, but 99% of my family is there. My parents are getting older, and I would like to be there for them in their old age - can't do that from Chicago.

No matter where I roam, though, Wisconsin will always be home.
