Commiserating with Ripple

[pwyll]

No, I have been to that 'city' -- if you've grown up around a real one you'd know that the sprawling, unzoned, discordant Houston is not what I would call a proper burg.......

...

There is more pollution than air, more concrete than grass, people turn into flaming a......s as soon as they get in a car and "rush hour" lasts longer than 15 minutes.

It's a city to me

Yes, my friends in college that came to visit me were astonished by Chicago, when you think Denver was considered a big city by them and then they would walk the Magnificent Mile, see Sears Tower, the lakefront........its a whole different level of urbanity.

Lol the closest city to me is Pottsville (home of the Yuengling brewery) with a whopping 25,000 people and a high rise - its a skyscraper 9 stories high it has an elevator and everything

Actually, As John Waters might say - Baltimore is more like a "PIMPLE" erupting than a "city" (if you want to call it that) . . .

Its actually quite beautiful during the day, the architecture is a wonder to behold, the sounds, heck, the people are even fascinating to watch......my grandmother had a condo on the lakefront and we would spend a couple weeks there every summer, exploring the lakefront and downtown, walking to the museums -- sometimes I am amazed by all that has changed in the ensuing 35 years......

Sorry, but the two best cities I have been in are:

And this one is from the same building I was in in Tokyo:

Absolutely beautiful juxtaposition of nature and man made.
