[WheatenLover]

When I lived about 11 miles from a small town (the one I live in now), everyone who lived in this town thought that where I lived was the boondocks. That surprised me.

My mother, OTOH, thought anywhere outside a 15 minute driving radius of Atlanta (the part where the museums, restaurants, and cultural venues are) was "in the boonies". She lived in Decatur at the time, which is now a really expensive town which is really very close to Atlanta.
