Once a long time ago I hitchhiked from Cincinnati, Ohio to Chicago. For all the talk of the superiority of town dwelling people we could not manage to get rides other than when we were in the country.  We ended up walking all the way from Gary, Indiana to the outskirts of Chicago.  Only about 20 miles.  Since it was during fallish time there were fresh fruits all along the route. I still remember fall 1983 eating catalope all along the way to power up along the walk.  Nothing like fresh melon on a warm day with a long walk. 

Somehow I think this applies in a general sense.  Too bad cities are seen as an excuse to screw the other guy.
