  • I just got back from Chicago last night.  The weather there was chilly and windy, as expected (but pleasant, as opposed to the already oppressive heat settling upon Florida; Tampa anyways).  As nice as it was in Chicago, I realized that I am not made for the city. 

    Pros and Cons of City Life (in my country mouse eyes)

    Pros Cons
    Much food variety (!!) and often for good prices due to
    competition
    [Often] dirty/smelly
    Easy transportation (bus, subways, taxis) Transport is convenient but expensive (in Chicago, $2.25 for
    the bus! And taxis are insane!) +traffic
    Much to do (plays, clubs, shopping, operas, you name it!) Constant construction --> noises and dangerous walking
    conditions
    Nightlife Occasional leery people
    History and cool architecture/buildings. Little privacy.  Buildings are so close to each other
    that it is easy to peer into your neighbors den.
    Easy recycling Less shrubbery/green
      Urban sprawl--everything is far away (it takes several bus
    routes and or subway stops to get anywhere)

  • Thanks Melinda for your comment . I hope your SIR list has been restored too . Yes I like checking ancient sites and sometimes I have the surprise to see it has re- started . And , indeed , I keep the sites of dead friends . It is a little like my roots on xangaland .When I check their site many memories come back . They are not forgotten by me .
     In friendship
