This Old Town

Contribution by Saul Martin

I am so sick of this old town. When I was younger I always said I would leave. I don’t know how I ended up married with three kids and stuck here. Everyone here knows everyone else’s business, and there is nothing fun to do. The gossip drives me crazy. We have one movie theater that always plays the worst movies, and two restaurants. We can only get satellite internet in my area, so technology is limited. I’ve been trying to convince my husband to move for a few years now, and I think he may finally be realizing that our opportunities are limited here. He is really close to his family who is all nearby, but I think we need to do what is best for our family. I get so excited when I feel like we have endless possibilities when it comes to moving and finding new jobs. We aren’t limited by geography since we can basically go anywhere we find jobs. I know the economy is bad right now, but I have hope that we will be able to find jobs.
