The Nature of City Things
Oct. 28th, 2007 10:26 amAm hoping a trip to the Midtown Global Market this afternoon will kill 3 birds with one stone:
* buy apples to slow-cook for gothluck on Monday
* access free wi-fi for the uploading of photographs (I seem to recall somebody saying they had free wi-fi)
* satisfy that urge I've had to do "city things"
"City things" are a lot of the reason that I feel like I'm a city person, not a country person or a small town person, and yet when things get busy or I forget and let it slide...no city things. And then I say to myself, "I live in a city, I should really be taking advantage of city things!" City things include zoos, history museums, art museums, science museums, historic houses open to the public, tours, live music, non-chain restaurants, farmers markets, art show openings, and other events/places that only exist because we're in a city. Yes, this even includes Mall of America (confession: I like visiting it). And Midtown Global Market. They're the sort of things that some citydwellers tend to forget about until that once-every-five-years visit from family members.
