Haven't been in a while but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right.
Me? I'll cling to the memory.
Times Square

Longest I lived in a big city was Madrid for 7 months. Was a lot of fun but by the end I felt a little bit trapped. Sometimes it is a bit overwhelming being surrounded by people and buildings 24/7.

I love living in a city. I enjoy the hecticness (who know that this isn't a real word?), being in the middle of things, access to any-and-all manner of restaurant, store, activity, and being able to look out my office window and see half the city. Basically, I enjoy the rat race.
I grew up in a small town in the country. Didn't dislike it. But, going back to visit family and such, I find it hard to live there. For instance, if I want to have a particular metal piece powder coated, there may not be a place within an hour drive. If I want good pad thai , there may not be anywhere close to get it. If I want special ingredients for a dinner, I won't find an Asian market to buy them.
