and it's multiplied by 5 when the person isn't actually from NY but lives there now
Well I didn't move here just because I didn't have anywhere else to go. It was actually a conscious choice, which I consciously considered, as opposed to staying in Evangelical Capital of Crazy Land.

col springs or boulder

in terms of cities that i have been, i can say that nyc, boston, dc, la and san francisco are all not at all mellow
philly is sort of mellow
i guess honolulu is mellow but that feels like cheating
pdx is definitely mellow, on the other hand its more like "a big town" than a city
― max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
sausalito is mellow, marin in general, but its not really a city
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link
boulder is a good answer
i thought CO springs was super conservative, seems like th opposite of mellow
― max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

― iatee, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

you know what, I probably find nyc a boring city because everything is really expensive so I never do anything exciting there
― (╯°□°)╯︵ mode squad) (dayo), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
the most exciting thing to do in nyc is go to maoz and get free refills from the salad bar #protip

yeah I haven't really been to NYC, it's true; I oughta book a trip there some time just to see the museums which I understand are great. & I think big buildings are kinda cool! but it's not really my architectural preference. & intense people-walking-really-fast-ness isn't my thing either, but I think that's a big part of what NYC lovers love.
not hating btw, just saying I don't really get the appeal; but I reckon others feel the same way about Paris & I couldn't explain to them what's so great b/c it's just a vibe to me.

houston is a terribly assembled place with lots of dumb things happening but i can't front, culturally it's massively underrated. really cool shit happening under all that sprawl.
