In the late 70s we lived in a new housing area between Guthrie & Edmond Oklahoma near Santa Fe Ave. It was quiet after spending most of our life in Los Angeles area. -----Original Message----- From: Billie Walsh Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 6:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ARIZARD] Elllen Reesh Oops. I live between two towns [ well one town and one city ], Guthrie and Edmond Oklahoma. The actual city limits of the two towns is only about four miles at the closes point. When I bought my little acreage twenty years ago there were very few around me. Just in the last couple years they have created one new housing addition and started another. Every house sold before it's completed. Small lots and houses jammed in together like sardines in a can.I never understand why people want to move out to the country and bring the city with them. I told Tracie that it was about time to move further out. *<]:oD Tracie had always been a "city girl" until I brought her out here 11 years ago. It took her about a year to sleep at night. It was just way to quiet. No sirens or car noise up and down the street. Said she had never heard the birds at night before. Now I couldn't drag her back to the city. *<]:oD On 08/17/2012 01:23 AM, Ellen Reesh wrote: > Well, with the housing crash back in 2007/8 the developers stopped > building > house so our farm land stopped being swallowed up.

It's building up over there also. I saw a new addition sign go up over that way just a couple months ago. You never should have left. *<]:oD We live about two miles east of where you lived, just off Broadway.
