worst shithole of a major american city

Portland is kinda fake mellow if you live there it can get pretty uptight

yeah but all mellowness is like that to an extent

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

sausalito is mellow, marin in general, but its not really a city

boulder is a good answer

i thought CO springs was super conservative, seems like th opposite of mellow

most of sf is mellow but when it's not mellow it's really not mellow

omg boulder is so not mellow, that place is fd in the head

also not really a city

SF is that weird thing where everyone thinks theyre really mellow but theyre wayyyy not mellow

otm

yeah if a place is too mellow it's not really a city

i went to mission dolores park, seemed like a mellow scene, lots of weed, but on the other hand there was like 1m people there and someone was spinning dubstep on a big amplifier

california mellow

being a yuppie is stressful

boulder has medical marijuana now though, that gives them a mellow pass

well i mean boulder is just not big enough to be a city

its a college town m/l

SF is that weird thing where everyone thinks theyre really mellow but theyre wayyyy not mellow

this is otm & is one of the things that really sticks in native socal ppl's craws about nocal

san francisco is the boston of the west

is it possible for people to be mellow

prob not really

is it possible for cities developed by humanity to be mellow

boulder is not a city it's a rock

a big rock

midwestern cities all seem pretty mellow to me

boulder is not a city it's a rock

I love these threads.

you know what, I probably find nyc a boring city because everything is really expensive so I never do anything exciting there

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.

just walking around ny gazing at things is p amazing and free

the met is free, amnh is free, central park is free, prospect park is free, amazing $10 meals all over the place

i have fun around NYC with like not much money at all

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.

hah that's what I do whenever I'm in NYC! xp to icey

btw there are a TON of places in new york that arent people walking fast everywhere, in fact there are four entire boroughs of it, and also basically anywhere north of midtown in manhattan

x-post - Paris is GORGEOUS but is a place that I found pretty boring. I mean there is tons to see and that's great but it all seemed to sort of shut down at night. Then again, I'm fairly certain I just didn't know where the action was. The end result was that I was bored for a majority of the time I've been there and I've visited 3 times.

I've been to the met, been to central park, been to prospect park, been to moma, $10 is on the high end of what I'm willing to pay for a meal

I took the ferry to staten island and I thought that was pretty cool, staten island is so weird

new york has shit tons of variety is basically the thing that makes it so wonderful

$10 is on the high end of what I'm willing to pay for a meal

Right now I am in Baltimore, MD. I like it but the price of food is still rather shocking. Not like Texas.

When we arrived I thought it was the friendliest place ever. Even more friendly than Austin could ever be. The morning after we arrived, I took off walking down the street to the grocery store, chatting with everyone like it was Sesame Street and just had a really pleasant afternoon and felt so safe.

I guess I was pretty naive to go exploring on foot in a city I am not familiar with in a neighborhood I knew nothing about. Two days later, watching the news, I find out the area isn't cool. There were two shootings on the corner, during the day and a girl got run over crossing the street I crossed to get to the store.

Last night several police cars were parked outside the hotel parking lot and I heard a man say,"He ran that way", then a knock two doors down and, "Police". That was it. No one around here really knows what happened.

This morning we come to find out that this is not a good part of town and it is known for the car theft and stabbings and killings. After watching the local evening news in Baltimore for almost two weeks, reminds me of San Antonio, in that the city has nothing but bad parts?

When they start setting kitties on fire, I'd say the city has major issues. Still, everywhere I have been so far, everyone is so uber friendly.

I walked around brooklyn this one time and saw a bunch of tall guys with pants cuffed at their ankles and not wearing any socks despite wearing shoes, also their shirts had patterns and were in muted colors

Staten Island is so weird.

Fact.

if u say "ive been to the met" youre doing it wrong

for me it's bring one joint, one book and music and im good for hours wondering around.

I saw the best minds of my generation, in a drum circle at grand army plaza

People hate on Baltimore a lot. I've never been there but my ex lives there and LOVES it. It does have a reputation for being pretty rough though.
