I. Love. This. City.

Sitting outside the center, just need to take a break from office work and soak up the city.

Birds are chirping
Kids are playing in the park
RAP music is ringing in the air
I hear the old men cracking jokes and laughing
The wind is blowing
I smell the aroma of fried food and the occasional hint of marijuana
I hear cars speeding by
and I remember....
This is the city that I love.
