I'm busy watching Monk, when I see an ad for a new movie

Cloverfield

Let's see. Die here, die in the tunnels... oh look. Seems like it's another movie about destroying my city.

Do I ever hate that! I even turn off disasters on SimCity!

Honestly, why don't they try Walla Walla for a change? Be creative! Be novel! Besides, I've heard that it's the place people enjoy so much, they decided to name it more than once. Or... something like that, anyway.

Doesn't everybody claim that they like to come here for a short trip, but would not like to spend the entirety of their lives in the city?

My .02

Well, I'd like to visit Ellis Island to honor my ancestors (the ones who came over in ships of steel instead of wood), but you know me--I wouldn't like to spend the entirety of my life in ANY city, much less THAT city.

Imagining being hemmed in by other people's dwellings on all sides, without any land or trees of your own, no stars at night (city lights), no clean rainwater, no @#$%! privacy because you can't swing a cat without hitting a neighbor or passerby....just no. It's as bad as the flatlands in eastern washington. (I grew up amid hills and forests. Being able to see the horizon all around gives me the willies.)

Me too. I like buildings :)
