In American English, the word “suburb” usually refers to a separate municipality or an unincorporated area outside of a central city, according to Wikipedia.
But this is suburbia without a real city,
only a small town and a campus…
Only small town…
“There is only one good thing about small town
There is only one good use for a small town
There is only one good thing about small town
You know that you want to get out
When you’re growing up in a small town
You know you’ll grow down in a small town
There is only one good use for a small town
You hate it and you’ll know you have to leave”
(Lou Reed and John Cale)
and it was all about Andy warhol
(Reed and Cale made the album “Songs for Drella” to honour Andy -> and Small town is an earworm song – it stays in your ear/head!!)
“when you’re growing up in a small town – you know you want to get out!”
