carol's humble beginnings

I was toured through the neighborhoods of Carol's youth today. I saw her small high school that was under full construction. I saw her parent's neighborhood, which was very suburby and not urban by any means.

This was a great realization for me as she has always picked on me since I mostly grew up in the small suburb of bristol, CT. Now I see that her Hamburg is Hamburg in name only. Had this neighborhood been in the USA, we would have given it a suburb name. As it stands it is technically still a part of the city of Hamburg.

More to the point, this affirms that you don't have to be born into city life. You choose it one day and it becomes a part of you.
