After living in the center of fourth (then third) largest city in Ukraine, it was mind torture for me and my family when we moved to the suburbs here. Instead of busy streets practically 24/7 right outside our windows, we seldom saw anything besides cars and small animals. It was like living somewhere deep in the woods. I feel...alive when I walk through the streets of Chicago or even lively college towns (Evanston) and even more alive when I walked the streets of Manhattan last year. It's just a great feeling.
