RE: Why I (Still) Call Myself an Urbanist

in #sndbox6 years ago

I love cities and villages. When in Paris, I often wander aimlessly and discover so many charming spots. And I often take a day to visit a town - went to Rouan for my birthday.
I was born in Chicago, and still get quite a kick out of a day in the city. Cities all have distinct personalities, like people, and neighborhoods within cities are micro-societies that have their own particular ambiance too. Fascinating stuff.

Yes, they each have their own charms. Paris, specially, where you can be an anonymous flâneur and go where the wind takes you. And the quaint intimacy that a smaller town offers is also pleasing. I've never been to Rouen but the cathedral seems lovely! What a drastic difference it must be from Chicago which also seems like a wonderful place to visit!

I love how you desribe cities as having their individual personalities. In a way, every time we visit a new place, it's like meeting a new person. There's new conversations to have and new memories to make together.

It really is fascinating. Thanks for reading, @kathleenscarboro!
