Places I Don't Care To Live
Ok so I have visited a few cities now and know (beyond a shadow of a doubt) that there are a few that God probably does not intend for me to live in......ever. Number one: Washington D.C. This city is so filled up with politics and fake people in general, it's almost impossible to even know if the Starbucks on the end of the street corner is really Starbucks or not. And it's not just D.C it is about every city in Northern Virginia too. The people appear to be nice, but trust me, its totally the opposite way around. Number two: Boston. This city had many more perks than D.C. (Fenway Park, Boston Harbor, the small Italian corner of the city) but frankly it felt a little boring. You have Harvard, Yale and Cambridge, along with other "big name" colleges, but I guess because it is such an academic machination in such a small area, the college students lack personality. The only people I saw with a personality were the street performers and the homeless. In fact, Boston just felt like an industrialized version of Camden County with more individuals from Asian or Korean descent. What was strange was how many people loved, I mean adored, country music! It was on the streets, at the baseball game, in the church we helped build, everywhere it seemed. The same could be said about Philadelphia too, although Philly was more diverse. It wasn't as clean as Boston but it was ok. It fell in the category between D.C. and Boston. Oh well, at least I know now haha.
