Once you begin to share a household, then of course the phrase "Crosstown Baby" would be no longer accurate. But at least this is a positive take about someone from the other side of town. In the day there were many negatives concerning this issue, as people were forbidden to date those from "the other side of town." Today the only negative might be the gasoline expense if the commute is huge; say from 10000 or so west to 10000 or so east, or from north to south.

Anyhow, good write reminiscent of an early rock 'n roll sound, I do believe.
