Then I lived in Bristol. you know, Portishead, Massive Attack, Banksy, whatever.

At the moment I'm getting my bumpkin on, living here. but not for much longer.
Enjoying the quiet life in Bucks County, PA area for the past 10 years.
Looks nice, bet its really nice in winter.
Derby where I live is a small city with not much going on, but i can get everywhere i need by walking pretty much so its an easy place to do whatever you want.
I see pics of these big cities (eg the OP Seattle pic) and they make me really want to experience the big city life (although not london) - but then i see these lovely rural or quiet looking places and they make me imagine an altogether different but equally enjoyable lifestyle.

it's funny, because I live in Seattle too, and my pics would be more like this:

I live in Baltimore, in a small area called Stone Hill. It's roughly in the geographic center of the city made up of stone houses from an old mill area active from the 1840s until the mid-20th. I'm a 20-minute walk from downtown, and a 10-minute walk from Hampden's 36th Street (one of Bmore's main shopping areas, including Atomic Books and The True Vine record store); despite this, the area feels almost like the country (if only for 2 blocks in any direction). The houses look like this:
Druid Hill, the closest thing we have to a Central Park, is a 5-minute walk from my house. The Maryland Zoo is there, and sometimes I can hear the animals at night:
there are too many of these on my walk to work:
My office is downtown in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood, two blocks from Baltimore's Washington Monument (the OG):
This is the very nice anarcho/socialist/crust/hippie/hipster bookstore/cafe that fuels my workdays (and soulstrut posting):
I love Red Emmas. Cullen is a dear friend of mine...
yeah, that's a great spot and he's a great dude. we spun together many times back in the day and he's still one of my favorites in town for a chat about books, records, movies, politics, etc.
Also, although that neighborhood has always been decent for food and bars, it largely failed as a retail area from the 70s into the early 2000s, with countless books, records, and clothes spots closing. Red Emma's has been a great example of good people with a solid business idea making it work.
