"The city blocks, they drive me wild, they're never ending, mile after mile." ~The Black Keys, 'I'm Too Afraid to Love You'

I have lived in both very rural areas (a farmhouse in the countryside of Eastern Iowa) and in very urban areas. I remain more fascinated by cities.

Smaller Cities I Have Lived In

• Louisville, Kentucky, debatable if belongs here or above but perhaps in comparison to Taipei it doesn't seem that big
