I hope that your friend is going to school in Iowa - not much there.

I'm really sorry, I know how you feel. Do you live in a small town?

i live in a small "section" of a town. ._. it's kind of its own town, but mail gets to my house with either west hartford or elmwood written on it...

Does that mean you live in Connecticut? (That's the only Hartford I know.) If so, I hope you're able to get into NYC once in a while. The city is so incredible.

Hey, I go to school in Iowa (though I am oh so proud to be a native NYer)!!! Where's your friend moving? Hopefully Eastern Iowa (that's where cool people like me are)....

Quad Cities are cool by IL border.

And if you are going off to college soon too, you all would separate eventually anyway...

Don't worry, IM is great and I'm sure you guys will visit each other and stay in touch!

The Quad Cities aren't that great... we do have pretty good community theatre around, though.

HEY. There are cool people in Central Iowa also. I have been in Iowa my whole life. I finally get to go to New York next May. I am already planning. I am a college student. Next year our college is putting on the equivalent of two musicals in the spring. Not sure which ones yet. Then off to New York.
