And, for comparison
April 05, 2012
I thought I'd jot really quick lists for the three other cities I've lived in since I finished grad school. If I gave these more thought I might add to the lists.
Oklahoma City
Do Like: Restaurants, urban development, contemporary architecture, our neighborhood, state parks with a great variety of landscapes in close driving distance, Norman, fun gay clubs
Don't Like: Lack of film choices, awful grocery stores, liquor laws, and (most espeically) right wing politics.
Dallas
Do Like: Shopping, Arboretum, grocery stores, cinemas, trails, great roads and highways, lots of swimming pools, and there was always a new experience to be had
Don't Like: Traffic, pretence, consumption, pollution, cost (and all those are pretty big negatives). I might also add lack of natural beauty to the region.
Fayetteville
Do Like: Nature, beauty, Farmers' Market, interfaith group, parks, fun (and eccentric) people, music scene, community spirit, and the blueberry pancake sandwich at Uncle Gaylord's
Don't Like: Not enough going on, the city and all its amenities are too far away
