RE: Country-City Brain Drain - Freewrite Day 605 - Prompt: Moving to the City
People tend to be city or country folk and then there are real odd ones, those that love the suburbs. I was born a city girl, I'm afraid but that doesn't mean I hate the country. No I love to go for walks in it and adore nature. It isn't an either or kind of situation. But yes, I find outside of the city people are a lot less tolerant of each other, but not always. And not all cities are vibrant and evoling like NYC. Some of them are depressing and unsafe places to be. Cities need to be cultivated and cared for. Arts and culture need to be nurtured or a once beautiful and amazing place can turn into something post-apocalytic and fast.
Wonderful post, Carol:)
wonderful reply! Thank you!
You're right - civilizations rise and fall, and so down small towns and big cities. Urban renewal and new public policy can sometimes reverse the downward spiral of a neighborhood like Harlem or Chicago's notorious Rush Street, once a den of iniquity, now an upscale neighborhood for yuppies and "The Viagra Triangle" - (I could not have made that up!).
Haha:)
