The Wall Street Journal has posted a story entitled "Green Acres is the Place to Be" that chronicles an exodus from cities back to "the country."
The article describes people moving from the sprawl and congestion of cities to rural areas as "ruralpolitans."
After living eleven years in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, then eleven years in the Houston megasprawl, I've spent the last eleven years as a "ruralpolitan" on the outskirts of Norman in the Oklahoma City area.
WSJ is right about green acres being the place to be. Concrete jungles and manicured lawns can't compete with life near the lake, acres of trees, soaring eagles, wild turkeys, fawns and deer.
