Cities can be stressful (duh) without a guide, driver, and friend, all rolled into one. They usually put just a few things I want to see in them though. Like the Watts Towers. That really is worth seeing. But I like the backroads and historical stuff the best. Villages. Every village has a quality. I like to see those. Qualities. Pick and choose, like I could live in every one. I like them to be in hills, or mountains, or canyons, or in some way a "setting". So you can see the other parts. The other side of town, or it's around the bend. Houses running up the hill. Come to think of it, that's exactly how we picked this place. Visual/sensual appeal. And luckily, the inner town looked like the outer town. 2 for 2, double town score.

Sometimes, when I am driving through Fairfax, I think about how everyone says how urban it is, and I feel, um, ironic, I guess is the word, when I am driving on Fox Mill Road or taking the back roads, like Yates Ford Road, to Manassas. Twisty, turny two-lane roads through miles of forests and meadows, punctuated every five or ten acres by a house that you may not be able to see from the road. To be sure, it gets more built-up all the time, but once you get out of the developed areas, it's mostly woods. Pretty this time of year, too.
