whenever i'm in the city, i'm hit with a sense of nostalgia. the weird thing about this is, i've lived in a number of areas throughout the city but never downtown. there's something about being in the center of it all, seeing city hall and the boulevards and the majestic buildings, a mix of old a new. cafés, eateries, theaters, shops all crammed into boxed spaces on a grid, each offering something alittle different from their neighbors. getting lost amidst the hustle and bustle, the hodgepodge of people, the noises of a place that doesn't sleep. the streets are always alive with something, someone.
now that i live an hour outside of the city, i only pass through for a couple of hours at a time, usually to try a new restaurant or with a specific agenda in mind. it makes me feel like a tourist in a way, although some of my greatest memories with friends and family happened there.
there are city folk and country folk, things to love and hate about either place. at the core, i'm probably an in-betweenie.. i want the best of both worlds.
