Stephen's Story
Life
I left Columbus in 1971 and moved to Washington, DC. Attended college and dropped out. It just was not for me. I moved to Arlington, Virginia but worked in DC for a number of years in Information Technology. After 25 years with National Rural Electric Coop Assoc I took a job with an IT Consulting firm.

re laid back and stress free comapred to metro DC. Food is different here. It's fried at least twice. They have more than their fair share of tornado warnings, but at least I don't have to leave the state. Mid-summer can be a bit untolerable and there are a lot of rocks here. Happy hours here are fantastic. Two for one from 11:00AM to 10:00PM. The Titan's suck but there are good college teams here. If you are into country music this is the place to be. There is a lot of open space here. Rutherford County is still pretty rural, although it is the fastest growing county in the US this year (2005). Since I have pretty much been a city boy most of my life, this is Mayberry livin' for me.
