As someone from Poland who could NEVER relate to anyone in my Thomas Kinkade painting of a boring town, I went to Cedars to escape. Growing up in the suburbs, I wanted more culture and places like Cedars provided me that. We've become a disposable society and find it easy to throw away our past along with things that have meant a lot to us. We instead "substitute" these things with commercial equivalents of McMansions. Where I formerly went to Cedars to escape my suburban existence, I now feel like I should just stay at home.
