National "drive around with a fifth of vodka and go to all the 7/11s in town to make mixed drinks" day
I'd say Vancouver is in "the burbs." The "boonies" are in the middle of nowhere which is past "the country" which is past the "exurbs" which is just past "the burbs" on the outskirts of the city, or something.
It was a joke. But Vantucky is like the outer-burbs to me. Does WA even have paved roads outside of Seattle?
You obviously havent been to East Vancouver / Fishers Landing area. Very nice. It's nicer, cleaner, newer than 90% of PDX.
