I don't think you ever think of a big city as sweet or community, but there are cities that I think of as charming and particular and interesting cities. I live in one now, Charleston.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Charleston is one of the best built, handsomest, and most agreeable cities that I have ever seen.
Cities produce love and yet feel none. A strange thing when you think about it, but perhaps fitting. Cities need that love more than most of us care to imagine. Cities, after all, for all their massiveness, all their there-ness, are acutely vulnerable.
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.
I just think cities are unnatural, basically. I know there are people who live happily in them, and I have cities that I love, too. But it's a disaster that we have moved so far from nature.
A city is a state - of mind, of taste, of opportunity. A city is a marketplace - where ideas are traded, opinions clash and eternal conflict may produce eternal truths.
Charleston is an amazing place. I probably didn't appreciate it enough when I was growing up.
I like it when it's nice and quiet. I'm not a big city person.
I grew up in a small town that was absolutely a perfect embodiment of new urbanism.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
The city is like a great house, and the house in its turn a small city.
