Suburbs

"I still hold. . . that the suburbs ought to be either glorified by romance and religion or else destroyed by fire from heaven, or even by firebrands from the earth." - The Coloured Lands G.K. Chesterton

Perhaps one day I shall depart the suburbs myself. Rationally, I know there is good to be found here, but I look out over Carrollton and surrounding burgs some nights and feel that I'm standing inside C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce. The houses here remain occupied but feel oddly silent and empty.
