[Edward H. Lybarger]

I did/do not dislike Schwabach, though I thought the retail choices and
hours were a bit limited, but simply like my little suburb better.  And it
would have been a hefty hike to that train station from where we stayed.  I
might prefer an apartment on a car line in East Berlin to living in a town
like Schwabach when I become geezerly enough for movement to be severely
restricted.

As the Fonz would have said, "Correctemundo."

I wonder if EHL has yet come to the conclusion, which he had not ten
years ago, that the town of Schwabach, Germany had a lot to offer.
For an old fart (and I might add Ed has now passed into Geezerhood),
it offered food stores, places to buy clothing, a toner cartridge,
prepared meals, and even religious salvation.   If you couldn't find
it there, the town had a train station ... and Nürnberg was just a
perhaps 20 minutes away.  One didn't need to worry about what happens
when you get too old to drive your car.

I agree with Boris on this one.   There are thousands of those little
towns scattered across Europe.   We used to have them.   We don't any
more.

How about it Ed?
