| Since I prefer country to city, I have no favorite city.
Beauty does not necessarily make a good city or country. People make it what it is. |

| I would say that it is the spirit of the city that makes it great, Abe. It seems to me that the spirit is often echoed in the aesthetics of it, though. The beauty can be simple or grand, traditional or modern, or a combination of elements, but all of it - the people, the places, the care and respect given, all contribute to the atmosphere that give a city its greatness.
Just me.

| Ann, I agree. It is a combination of things that make any city or country great, and that is a personal preference. What I like, others may dislike. I like friendliness. When I pass someone on the street I want to greet them with a simple hello. I tried that in New York City.  |

| Abe, you should see what that city does to my mild-mannered and sweet-tempered daughter-in-law. The first time I heard her father say, "We are driving into the city, so 'Lynnie' had better drive," I had no idea what he meant. It did not take long to learn. When she is driving those streets, nobody better mess with her.
I think it's just a culture thing, though - a wariness of strangers, and the need to get where you are going quickly in spite of the crowds. They seemed to be very pleasant once we got beyond that first chill.

| If you do a Google image search for Duette Florida, these pictures come up along with a picuture of my neighbor, the winery up the road a quarter of a mile, some houses for sale out here. My hook worm avatar is there along with a picture that a child from the school colored of the hopper in the cat lessons story. Surprised me.
Love,
Betty |
