You moved to the city because it seemed natural. You weren't afraid, but instead excited about everything that a city offers. You might have even had a mission. You are city positive. You had a hundred different reasons, or maybe it was just an accident. You got more house for your money, but taxes almost made up for the difference. You knew that cities offered community, and the highs and lows that comes along with it. You wanted to be where there were needs. You love old houses. You owned one car, two bikes, and walked to work. Then you had children...children in the city. There were parks, story time at the library, market days, and backyard gardening. Play dates and picnics at the community pool. You homeschooled, or unschooled, or private schooled, or braved the city schools. Either way, you made hard decisions and financial sacrifices. You are a city family.
If any of this describes you, or if none of it describes you, we want to hear your story. What brought you to the city in the first place? What makes being a city family worthwhile? What makes it difficult? Why have you stayed? Why have you left?
Send your family introduction to asahelchurch@gmail.com and it will be added to this Blog. Feel free to redact names or personal information, but please be as specific as you feel comfortable.
