I love the way you opened your article! Ask most people how they feel about where they live, they'll say something like "ah it's okay." It definitely helps one's happiness and mental growth to love where you live.

And yeah, looking at your many photos, you've got reason to love the city. To think just a hundred years ago, it was dirt roads and horses everywhere. And over another century from now? Eat your garlic, so you can live long enough to see it. 😁
