Are you basically pretty happy living there, or do you dream of living somewhere else?
If you did move away, what (other than friends and family) do you suppose you would miss the most?
Was Dukes of Hazzard hugely popular there back in the day? (It was where I grew up--partly because everyone enjoyed laughing their asses off at how ridiculous some of the stereotypes were, but also partly because it was a big deal just to see Southerners represented on television for a change.)
Oh, I've definitely dreamed of living somewhere else. My sisters do live somewhere else, Brooklyn. I think they're happier there. One sister is a dancer and she didn't really have any opportunities here, she had to leave. If you're going to do anything in the arts you really have to leave and go to a bigger city. We don't have any big cities, except for Atlanta. I'd miss my art studio and the quiet here. Everyone else is here. My brother lived in Rome during his first marriage, and he was a fish out of water there. He missed Birmingham. So now he's married again and happily lives here. He's had the chance to move and doesn't want to. I love Atlanta, but it's too busy. The last time I was there, to see U2, I got into all of these maddening traffic jams. Sure we have traffic jams but not as many or as big. The last time I was in New York you could barely drive without someone running into you. It's just too big. But I'd like to live somewhere else, so I could do something with my art.
