Just spent my last night in the suburbs, which is how Ive come to think of this bucolic slice of Long Beach. Perhaps because it resembles the street I grew up on, my growing realization that I wasnt happy living here these past two years triggered its own distinct form of melancholy, a you cant go home again glumness. I guess if you spend your adolescence itching to leave a quiet Adirondack village for the big city, then spend over three decades as a dedicated urban dweller, the discovery in middle age that quiet, leafy streets dont automatically bring peace of mind shouldnt be a surprise. Has anybody else experienced the inadequacies of suburban life as a protracted jolt of self-recognition?
