I really haven’t cared for most of the places I’ve lived, but they all have their positives and negatives. Overall I didn’t care for the last city I lived in, however one thing I miss was a river walk they had right outside downtown along with another park adjacent to the river a quick walk to downtown. I would often go there in the evening and just walk for several hours and think. The scenery of the river and the surrounding nature was very nice and enjoyable. After the sun went down and it was dark, it was a brief walk into town where I could grab something to eat and do whatever I want. I haven’t been happy or even content in many years, but those walks brought some sort of peace to my mind.
Unfortunately there’s nothing really like that where I am now, at least nothing close enough for a casual afternoon trip. There’s a good bit of sidewalk around the neighborhood, but it really doesn’t feel the same. It’s in primarily residential area just off a busy road and the sound of cars zipping past you ,sirens from the nearby hospital along with the dim streetlight interrupted by shopping strips, etc. don’t exactly bring the same tranquility. Despite the parks from the city I used to live in being very close to urban areas, the river and more forested stretches gave a tranquil feeling and even the more open parts had a pleasant setting.
